Application

  • Electrochemical Applications: Key component in Lithium-Sulfur (Li-S) batteries, offering higher energy density compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries; Semiconductor Sensitization of thin films (CdS/CdSe/ZnS) that enhance solar cell efficiency.

  • Synthesis and Catalysts: Employed in the development of various catalysts due to its reactivity; Precursor in Reactions (sulfurization of metals and compounds).

Features and Benefits

•High Purity: 99.998% purity ensures minimal contamination, consistency and reproducibility in manufacturing processes. Ideal for sensitive applications, crucial for performance. In applications like Li-S batteries and solar cells, trace metals can negatively impact performance and stability.
•Versatile Reactivity: Can participate in a wide range of chemical reactions, useful for synthesis and catalysis.
•Tailorable Properties: Properties can be modified for specific applications, enhancing its functionality.

General description

Elemental sulfur exists in thirty different solid allotropes of which orthorhombic sulfur is the only thermodynamically stable form under normal temperature and pressure. It dissolves in a number of organic solvents and forms a large number of oxyacids. Sulfur is generally highly reactive; the S8 ring of elemental sulfur is easily broken by a number of nucleophilic reactants. The hydroxyl ions react with S at about 100oC.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
