CAS 12039-15-5: Zirconium sulfide (ZrS2)

Description: Zirconium sulfide (ZrS2) is an inorganic compound characterized by its formation of a layered structure, which is typical of transition metal dichalcogenides. It appears as a dark, solid material and is known for its semiconductor properties, making it of interest in various electronic applications. ZrS2 exhibits a high melting point and is relatively stable under ambient conditions. The compound is insoluble in water but can dissolve in strong acids, which is a common trait among metal sulfides. Its crystal structure typically features a hexagonal arrangement, contributing to its anisotropic electrical and thermal conductivity. Additionally, zirconium sulfide can be synthesized through various methods, including direct reaction of zirconium with sulfur at elevated temperatures. Due to its unique properties, ZrS2 is being explored for applications in optoelectronics, catalysis, and as a potential material for energy storage devices. However, handling should be approached with caution, as with many metal sulfides, due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
