High Purity La2S3 Lanthanum Sulfide Powder CAS 12031-49-1

Lanthanum(III) Sulfide is a high-purity inorganic compound with a distinctive orange to yellow crystalline powder appearance. Known for its exceptional thermal stability (melting point: 2100–2150°C) and semiconductor properties, it is widely used in advanced material science and optoelectronic applications.

• High Purity: Our La₂S₃ is available in high - purity grades, typically reaching 99.9% purity or higher. This high level of purity ensures minimal impurities, which is crucial for applications where precise chemical reactions and consistent material performance are required. For example, in the synthesis of advanced electronic materials, impurities can disrupt the desired electrical properties, and high - purity La₂S₃ helps avoid such issues.
• Specific Crystal Structure: Lanthanum sulfide crystallizes in a hexagonal crystal structure. This unique crystal arrangement influences its physical and chemical behaviors. The ordered lattice structure contributes to its stability and affects properties like its hardness, thermal conductivity, and optical characteristics. For instance, the crystal structure can impact how the material interacts with light, making it useful in certain optical applications.
• Dark - Colored Solid: It presents as a dark - colored solid, usually black or dark gray. The color is a result of its electronic structure and the way it absorbs and reflects light. In some applications, such as in pigments or as a component in materials where color - related properties are important, this characteristic color can be exploited.
