Abstract. In this work, the physicochemical properties of the cadmium antimony sulfide compound CdSb₂S₄ in an aqueous environment were studied. To synthesize cadmium antimony sulfide, local raw materials were first used as the starting material. Antimony (III) sulfide was obtained from the Daridag antimony mine located in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic by filtration. Antimony (V) sulfide and cadmium sulfide were added to the obtained antimony (III) sulfide, and cadmium sulfide was synthesized. Cadmium antimony sulfide was X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the obtained compound was performed. At the same time, the precipitation rate of the compound was calculated, the results of which are listed in the table. The effect of the amount of cadmium sulfide on the formation of cadmium antimony sulfide was studied and given in the table. The sample was chemically analyzed and its composition was determined. The application areas of cadmium antimony sulfide are defined, and brief information is provided (optoelectronics, thermoelectric materials, solar energy technologies, photocatalysis).
