Germanium sulfide (GeS) is an inorganic compound characterized by its binary composition of germanium and sulfur. It typically appears as a yellow to brown solid and is known for its semiconductor properties, making it of interest in various electronic applications. Germanium sulfide has a layered crystal structure, which contributes to its unique optical and electrical characteristics. It is relatively stable under ambient conditions but can react with moisture, leading to the formation of germanium oxide and hydrogen sulfide. The compound exhibits a high refractive index and is utilized in the production of optical materials and thin films. Additionally, germanium sulfide can be synthesized through various methods, including direct reaction between germanium and sulfur at elevated temperatures. Its applications extend to photonics and optoelectronics, where it plays a role in devices such as photodetectors and solar cells. Safety precautions should be observed when handling germanium sulfide, as it can be harmful if inhaled or ingested.
