Tantalum Sulfide Powder

Tantalum Sulfide Powder Description

Tantalum(IV) sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula TaS2. It is a layered compound with three-coordinate sulfide centers and trigonal prismatic metal centers. It is structurally similar to the more famous material molybdenum disulfide, MoS2. TaS2 is a semiconductor with d1 electron configuration. Although an obscure material otherwise, TaS2 has been the subject of numerous studies because it is a versatile host for intercalation of electron donors, and because it exhibits unusual phase transitions at low temperatures.

Tantalum sulfide is a moderately water and acid soluble tantalum 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. Tantalum sulfide is generally immediately available in most volumes. High purity, submicron and nanopowder forms may be considered. SSC produces to many standard grades when applicable and follows applicable ASTM testing standards. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available on request.
