Silicon Disulfide (SiS2) General Description
Silicon disulfide (SiS2), aka silicon sulfide, is a unique compound subject to significant research interest in recent years, with the weight of the interest
focused on its potential in energy storage. Like many sulfide compounds, silicon disulfide must be stored carefully as it is flammable, caustic to the skin
and eyes, and sensitive to exposure to air and moisture.
Silicon Disulfide (SiS2) Applications
• Solid state batteries :A promising material in the production of cathodes for various solid state battery designs, like many related sulfide compounds.
Promising new technologies such as lithium-sulfur batteries may eventually rely upon this compound as a key production material.
• Electronics: The same properties which make silicon disulfide of interest in the production of solid state battery cathodes makes it of interest in the
production of other electronic components. In particular, it is of interest in the production of cathodes for a variety of purposes.
• Chemical production: Many other valuable compounds can be produced from a base of silicon disulfide, in addition to its direct applications and research potential.
• Optical properties:Like many related inorganic compounds, silicon disulfide has been researched recently for its potential optical and photovoltaic
properties i.e. for applications in solar power and similar technologies.
