Tin(IV) sulfide is a compound with the formula SnS2. The compound crystallizes in the cadmium iodide motif, with the Sn(IV) situated in "octahedral holes' defined by six sulfide centers.[5] It occurs naturally as the rare mineral berndtite.[6] It is useful as semiconductor material with band gap 2.2 eV.[7]

Reactions

The compound precipitates as a brown solid upon the addition of H2S to solutions of tin(IV) species. This reaction is reversed at low pH. Crystalline SnS2 has a bronze color and is used in decorative coating[8] where it is known as mosaic gold.

The material also reacts with sulfide salts to give a series of thiostannates with the formula [SnS2]m[S]2nn. A simplified equation for this depolymerization reaction is

SnS2 + S2−1/x[SnS2−3]x.

Applications

Tin (IV) sulfide has various uses in electrochemistry. It can be used in anodes of lithium ion batteries, where an intercalation process occurs to form Li2S.[9] It can also be used in a similar way in electrodes of supercapacitors, which can be used as alternative source of energy storage.[10]

SnS2 has also been identified as a potential component of thermoelectric devices, which convert thermal energy to electrical energy. In one example, this property was made possible by forming a composite of SnS2 with multiwalled carbon nanotubes.[11]

SnS2 can also be used in wastewater treatment. Forming a membrane with SnS2 and carbon nanofibers can potentially allow for the reduction of certain impurities in water, an example of which is hexavalent chromium.[12]

In general, SnS2 is useful as a semiconductor and can be purchased in powder form for experimental purposes.[13]
