Description

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.

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).
