Overview of germanium sulfide GeS2 powder
Germanium disulfide, the molecular formula is GeS2. Unstable, easy to sublime and oxidize at high temperature, decompose in humid air or inert atmosphere, insoluble in water and inorganic acid (including strong acid), soluble in hot alkali, soluble in ammonia gas or sulfide film.

Germanium disulfide is a white orthorhombic crystal. Melting point 825 ℃. Density 3.01g/cm3. Insoluble in strong acid. It can be decomposed with aqua regia and can be dissolved in hot solution of alkali metal hydroxide and ammonia water. Oxidation begins at 260-280°C in air. Soluble in ammonia. When hydrogen peroxide is used, germanium dioxide can be obtained.
The density of germanium disulfide is 2.19 g/cm3. Melting point is 800°C. It is a small white powder mainly composed of germanium disulfide (GeS2) particles. Like many closely related metal sulfides, germanium disulfide powder is currently the subject of many researchers investigating its potential in energy storage applications such as solid-state batteries.
Application of germanium sulfide GeS2 powder
American scientists have fired a pink 'flower' in a furnace. It has no fragrance, but it can store a lot of energy and promises to bring about a battery revolution. "Nanoflowers" are made from dust of metal germanium sulfide, a semiconductor material. Due to its petal shape, the object is small but has a large surface area, which can store a lot of energy.

Scientists in the United States have recently designed a miniature battery. This tiny pink nanostructure can completely subvert the traditional battery design and store energy with a unique surface structure. This "nanoflower" is made of germanium sulfide (a semiconductor material), and its flower shape has more surface structure in less space to store energy, which would be ideal for energy storage applications such as smartphones Battery.
The "nanoflowers" are only 20-30 nanometers thick and 100 micrometers long. They have a large surface area with a small spatial structure and can be used to make new smartphone batteries. The breakthrough technology was developed by Linyou Cao and colleagues at North Carolina State University. To create the nanoflower structure, the team first heated powdered semiconductor material in a furnace, vaporized it, and then blown it into a furnace. The lower temperature area allows it to settle down layer by layer.
Solid State Batteries: Like many closely related compounds, germanium disulfide is of particular interest to design studies and manufacturers.
In particular, the material has potential value in producing cathodes for certain types of batteries.
Sulfurized nanoparticles have great potential as high-performance lithium-sulfur batteries.
Electricity: For researchers working on energy storage technologies, germanium disulfide has the same properties and has some potential value in producing other components and materials for advanced electronics.
Catalysts: Like many sulfides, germanium disulfide has unique potential to produce more complex compounds for high-tech devices and other chemical reactions.
Optical properties: Like many related materials, nanoscale sulfur offers a wealth of unique optical properties, many of which are not yet fully understood.
This makes the material's research interests span a wide range of industries and fields, from electronics to photovoltaics to imaging technologies.
