CAS 12166-31-3 Zirconium Trisulfide (ZrS3) Crystal

Description

Description Zirconium trisulfide (ZrS3) is a typical representative of layered transition metal trichalcogenides (TMTCs).
ZrS3 is an indirect gap semiconductor as its bulk and its monolayer undergoes an indirect to direct band gap transition with increasing tensile strain. ZrS3 layers possess a pseudo one-dimensional nature where each layer consists of ZrS3 chains extending along the b-lattice direction.

Features And Benefits

Highly anisotropic
Transition metal trichalcogenides (TMTCs)

Application

Application ZrS3 has potential applications in thermal batteries, perovskite solar cells, perovskite light-emtting diodes and electronics such as in-plane anisotropic FETs. It can also be used in optoelectronics such as polarization-sensitive photodetectors and thermoelectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric devices. See the applications tab for more details.
