PuS₂ is a plutonium disulfide ceramic compound belonging to the rare-earth and actinide chalcogenide family. As a plutonium-based material, it is confined to nuclear fuel cycle research and advanced nuclear materials development rather than general engineering practice. The compound is studied primarily for understanding actinide chemistry, potential nuclear fuel forms, and material behavior under extreme conditions; its use is strictly regulated and limited to specialized nuclear research institutions and weapons complex facilities.
