Sulfur

Atomic No. 16 S Sulfur

About Sulfur

Sulfur is a nonmetallic element with atomic number 16 that occurs in numerous oxidation states and forms compounds with most metallic and nonmetallic elements. It is an essential component of sulfides, sulfates, thiophosphates, and many other inorganic materials used in batteries, optical materials, pigments, catalysts, and high temperature applications. Sulfur chemistry is particularly important in solid state electrolytes, metal sulfides, and chalcogenide materials where composition and impurity control can strongly affect material performance.
