· JVASP-1483· KErS2

KErS2 is a rare-earth kernesite ceramic compound combining potassium, erbium, and sulfur in a sulfide-based ceramic matrix. This material belongs to the family of rare-earth sulfide ceramics, which are primarily explored in research and specialized applications requiring high-temperature stability and chemical resistance. KErS2 is not widely commercialized but represents the potential of rare-earth sulfide systems for niche applications in extreme environments where conventional oxides or nitrides may be insufficient.
