Chromium Sulfide

Chromium Sulfide Description

Chromium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula Cr2S3. It is a brown-black solid. Chromium sulfides are usually nonstoichiometric compounds, with formulas ranging from CrS to Cr0.67S (corresponding to Cr2S3). Chromium sulfide can be prepared through the reaction of a stoichiometric mixture of the elements at 1000℃. Chromium sulfide in water will undergo a double hydrolysis reaction to produce chromium hydroxide and HS-, and even H2S.

Chromium sulfide is a moderately water and acid soluble chromium source for uses compatible with sulfates. Sulfate compounds are salts or esters of sulfuric acid formed by replacing one or both of the hydrogens with a metal. Most metal sulfate compounds are readily soluble in water for uses such as water treatment, unlike fluorides and oxides which tend to be insoluble. Organometallic forms are soluble in organic solutions and sometimes in both aqueous and organic solutions. Metallic ions can also be dispersed utilizing suspended or coated nanoparticles and deposited utilizing sputtering targets and evaporation materials for uses such as solar energy materials and fuel cells.
