Beryllium Sulfide

Beryllium Sulfide Description

Beryllium sulfide powders can be prepared by the reaction of sulfur and beryllium in a hydrogen atmosphere by heating the mixture for 10-20 minutes at temperatures from 1000-1300 °C.

Alternatively, it can be prepared by the reaction of beryllium chloride and hydrogen sulfide at 1150 °C, though this reaction will leave chlorine impurities.

Beryllium Sulfide is a moderately water and acid soluble Beryllium source for uses compatible with sulfates.

Due to their large energy gap and hardness, beryllium sulfides and selenides are interesting materials for improving the lifetime of optical devices made of other II-VI-semiconductors by forming multicombinatory alloys, notably with ZnS or CdS.
