date for iodine gas capture. This is attributed to the fact that the Sn within the gel network has
a strong affinity for chemisorption of iodine to form SnI4. This study demonstrates an
approach for consolidating the raw and iodine-sorbed Sn2S3 chalcogels into a
chalcogenide glass using GeS2 as a glass-forming additive. Adding GeS2 to iodine-sorbed
or iodine-free Sn2S3 chalcogels provides better glass formation than Sn–S or Sn–S–I alone …
