Abstract:

Selenium disulfide is a generic term for mixtures of SemSn with a polycyclic ring structure, which has different ring structures interconverting with each other in the molten and solution states. Selenium disulfide is commonly synthesized by fusion and chemical methods, while nanosized selenium disulfide is commonly synthesized by electrochemical and green synthesis methods. Its commonly used characterization methods are X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray energy spectrometry (EDS), Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR). Selenium disulfide is a cell growth inhibitor and a keratolytic agent, with anti-seborrhea, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial effects, which can inhibits nuclear division, resulting in reduced epidermal cell turnover. It is commonly used in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis and lichen planus because of its antipruritic, anti-inflammatory and anti-dandruff properties. Sulfur and selenium are both elements with multiple atomic valences that can exhibit both reducing and oxidizing properties. Their potential has made the molecular structure, performance characteristics and application development of selenium disulfide a research hotspot. This paper reviews the selenium disulfide properties, structural features, preparation methods, characterization and applications, and gives an outlook on its future development trend.

Key words: selenium disulfide, nanomaterials, preparation, dermatitis
