Application

Tin(IV) Sulfide serves as a versatile material for laboratory research and development, particularly prized for its exceptional optoelectronic properties and environmental safety. This yellow to brown flaky or scaly powder is highly stable in air and showcases a distinctive gold-yellow sheen. It transforms in color upon heating and decomposes above 600°C. With a layered hexagonal CdI2 crystal structure and a broad band gap of approximately 2.35 eV, Tin(IV) Sulfide is celebrated for its superb optical and electrical capabilities. Its solubility in concentrated hydrochloric acid and alkaline sulfides, while being insoluble in water, underlines its suitability for various applications. This non-toxic and abundant semiconductor finds uses in holographic recording, electrical conversion systems, solar cell technologies, and as an anode material in lithium electronic batteries.
