· Hg3PS4

Hg3PS4 is a mercury-based ternary semiconductor compound combining mercury, phosphorus, and sulfur in a mixed-anion structure. This material is primarily of research interest rather than established commercial use, explored for its potential in nonlinear optics, photonic devices, and infrared applications due to the unique electronic properties imparted by mercury's heavy-element character. Engineers and researchers investigating next-generation optical materials or wide-bandgap semiconductors may consider this compound as part of exploratory work in specialized photonics, though alternative semiconductors with better thermal stability and manufacturing maturity are typically preferred for production applications.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
