Scandium sulfide (ScS) is a binary ceramic compound combining scandium with sulfur, belonging to the family of transition metal chalcogenides. It is primarily of research interest rather than established in high-volume production, studied for its potential in optoelectronic and thermal applications due to its moderate stiffness and density. The material shows promise in niche technological areas where its electronic and thermal properties can be leveraged, though it remains less mature than conventional ceramics like alumina or yttria.
