Preparation and application of rare earth sulfides

Rare earth sulfides are a new type of functional materials with complex crystal structures, which show unique optical, electrical and magnetic properties. They widely used in many fields, such as non-toxic pigments energy storage, have perspective application photocatalytic, thermoelectric power generation, permanent magnet other fields. Based on our group’s work these this review systematically summarizes the research progress milestone synthetic methodology, structure modification composite construction rare sulfide recent years. The performance enhancement strategies inorganic pigment, storage photocatalysis comprehensively sorted out. structure-activity relationship rare-earth is discussed their positive prospects proposed. Finally, existing problems current puts forward for its direction.
