General description
Differential thermal analysis of germanium (II) sulfide was investigated. Melting point of GeS is 665oC. 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.
Application
- New flexible and transparent solution-based germanium-sulfide polymeric materials: This research presents the successful preparation of solution-based polymeric germanium sulfide materials, showcasing their potential applications in flexible and transparent electronics (DTB De Salvi, AE Job, SJL Ribeiro, 2015).
- Germanium monosulfide as a natural platform for highly anisotropic THz polaritons: Introduces alpha-germanium(II) sulfide (GeS) as a promising candidate for enhancing THz nanospectroscopy, significantly impacting materials science and optoelectronic device development (T Nörenberg et al., 2022).

A facile room-temperature electrochemical deposition process for germanium sulfide (GeS(x)) has been developed with the use of an ionic liquid as an electrolyte. The electrodeposition mechanism follows the induced codeposition of Ge and S precursors in ionic liquids generating GeS(x)

Strategies to enhance ionic conductivities in solid electrolytes typically focus on the effects of modifying their crystal structures or of tuning mobile-ion stoichiometries. A less-explored approach is to modulate the chemical bonding interactions within a material to promote fast lithium-ion
