Elemental sulfur

Manufactured by Merck Group

Elemental sulfur is a naturally occurring chemical element that is widely used in various industrial and agricultural applications. It is a yellow, crystalline solid with the chemical formula S. Elemental sulfur serves as a key raw material in the production of various chemicals, including sulfuric acid, fertilizers, and other sulfur-based compounds.

Dendritic Pyrite Synthesis via Thermal Sulfidation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4·7H2O, Sigma Aldrich) was used to synthesize the dendritically structured α-Fe by an electric-field-induced and electrochemical reduction method.44 (link) The hierarchically structured dendritic pyrite was obtained via thermal sulfidation of the as-synthesized dendritic α-Fe at 450 °C for 4 hours with a heating and cooling rate of 15 °C per minute under a continuous argon gas flow. Elemental sulfur (99.5–100.5%, Sigma Aldrich) was placed at the edge of the furnace, where it reached about 140 °C and formed a melt. The resulting sulphur vapour was carried by the argon gas flow over the dendritic nanostructured α-Fe.

Sulfur Electrode Fabrication for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To prepare the sulfur electrodes, elemental sulfur (99.5%, Sigma-Aldrich),
Super P carbon, and PVDF binder in NMP (5% weight ratio) were thoroughly
mixed with a weight ratio of 65:30:5 in a dispensing system. The resultant
slurry was cast onto an aluminum foil with a thickness of 100 μm
using a doctor blade method. The thickness of the slurry was about
100 μm. The sulfur electrodes were dried in vacuum at 65 °C
for 10 h and then cut into circular pellets (Ø 10 mm). The typical sulfur loading for each electrode was 1.5 mg·cm–2. The cell was assembled in an argon-filled glovebox
(H2O and O2 concentration <1 ppm) using a
standard CR2032 coin cell. The cell used the sulfur electrode as the
cathode, metallic lithium as the anode (Ø 12
mm), UiO–PP as the separator, and 1.0 M bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide
lithium salt (LiTFSI, battery grade, Sigma-Aldrich) in DOL (anhydrous,
Sigma-Aldrich)/DME (anhydrous, Sigma-Aldrich) as the electrolyte (15
μL), respectively. The volume ratio of DOL/DME was 1:1 in the
electrolyte solution to which a small amount of LiNO3 (1%
weight ratio, anhydrous, Sigma-Aldrich) was added.

CVD Growth of MoS2 on Exfoliated hBN

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We have grown
monolayer MoS2 onto exfoliated hBN flakes using the CVD
growth method.24 (link) hBN flakes were prepared
using the mechanical exfoliation method on a quartz substrate. As
precursors, we used molybdenum trioxide (MoO3, Sigma-Aldrich,
99.5%) and elemental sulfur (Sigma-Aldrich, 99.98%). Sulfur powder
and a quartz substrate with hBN flakes were loaded into a quartz tube
with an inner diameter of 26 mm. MoO3 was placed in a quartz
tube with an inner diameter of 10 mm, and the quartz tube was placed
inside the larger diameter quartz tube to avoid unwanted reactions
between S and MoO3, and then, under an Ar flow of 200 sccm,
we heated the quartz tubes with a three-zone electric furnace at 200,
750, and 1100 °C for S, MoO3, and the substrate, respectively.
The typical growth time is 20 min.

Twenty millimolar of Li2S6 solution was prepared by mixing stoichiometric amounts of elemental sulfur (Sigma-Aldrich) and Li2S (Alfa Aesar) in DOL: DME (Sigma-Aldrich, volume ratio 1:1). A homogenous dark–yellow solution of Li2S6 was obtained after stirring for 24 h at 130 °C.

Synthesis and Aging of In2S3 Quantum Dots

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Indium Chloride (99.9%, Sigma Aldrich), Elemental Sulfur (99.9%, Sigma Aldrich) were used as a source material for In3+ and S2− ions respectively. Dodecanthiol (99%, Sigma Aldrich) and Oleylamine (98%, Aldrich) were used for the capping purpose. Acetone (99%, Loba Chemicals) was used for aging study. A 0.001 mol of Indium Chloride was dissolved in 1-Dodecanthiol and stirred under Argon atmosphere at 110 °C for half an hour. Elemental Sulfur was dissolved in Oleylamine and stirred under vacuum at 90 °C for half an hour. After that Elemental Sulfur solution was quickly injected into Indium Chloride solution and mixed under Argon atmosphere for 20 min to grow indium sulfide quantum dots. As obtained quantum dots were purified by means of using equimolar ratio of Hexane (Solvent) and Methanol (Antisolvent) under centrifugation at 5000 rpm for 30 min. As prepared Oleylamine and 1-Dodecanthiol capped blue emitting In2S3 quantum dots were dissolved in Acetone and kept under aging for 1 month.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
