GERMANIUM (II) SULFIDE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

reddish-yellow, amorphous or rhomb crystal(s); -20 mesh with 99.95% purity [CER91] [CRC10]

General Description

Differential thermal analysis of germanium (II) sulfide was investigated. Melting point of GeS is 665^oC. GeS nanoparticles may be prepared by gas phase laser photolysis, to be used in lithium ion batteries. GeS films may be generated by electrochemical deposition and used as an electrolyte. A study also reports the formation of GeS clusters by laser ablation.
