· JVASP-14945· NdS2

NdS2 is a rare-earth metal sulfide ceramic compound combining neodymium with sulfur in a layered crystal structure. This material family is primarily investigated in research settings for solid-state electronics, photocatalysis, and energy storage applications where the combination of rare-earth properties and chalcogenide chemistry offers unique electronic and optical characteristics. While not yet established in high-volume industrial production, NdS2 and similar rare-earth sulfides represent an emerging materials platform for next-generation devices requiring tailored band gaps, anisotropic properties, or catalytic activity.
