Cu3PS4 is a ternary copper phosphide sulfide compound that belongs to the family of mixed-anion metal chalcogenides. This is a research-stage material primarily investigated for its potential in energy storage and photocatalytic applications, rather than an established commercial material. It represents an emerging class of earth-abundant alternatives to conventional semiconductors and battery materials, with particular interest in lithium-ion battery anodes and photocatalytic water splitting due to its mixed valency and tunable electronic properties.
