Application

  • Electrochemical Applications: Key component in Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) batteries, offering higher energy density compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries; Semiconductor Sensitization of thin films (CdS/CdSe/ZnS) that enhance solar cell efficiency.

  • Synthesis and Catalysts: Employed in the development of various catalysts due to its reactivity; Precursor in Reactions (sulfurization of metals and compounds).

Features and Benefits

•High Purity: 99.998% purity ensures minimal contamination, consistency and reproducibility in manufacturing processes. Ideal for sensitive applications, crucial for performance. In applications like Li-S batteries and solar cells, trace metals can negatively impact performance and stability.
•Versatile Reactivity: Can participate in a wide range of chemical reactions, useful for synthesis and catalysis.
•Tailorable Properties: Properties can be modified for specific applications, enhancing its functionality.

General description

Elemental sulfur exists in thirty different solid allotropes of which orthorhombic sulfur is the only thermodynamically stable form under normal temperature and pressure. It dissolves in a number of organic solvents and forms a large number of oxyacids. Sulfur is generally highly reactive; the S8 ring of elemental sulfur is easily broken by a number of nucleophilic reactants. The hydroxyl ions react with S at about 100oC.
