Used primarily in research and development of advanced materials, particularly in the field of solid-state chemistry and electrochemistry. Shows potential as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries due to its layered structure that allows intercalation of lithium ions. Investigated for use in semiconductor applications and optoelectronic devices because of its electronic properties. Also explored in catalysis and as a precursor for synthesizing other titanium and sulfur-containing compounds. Limited industrial use due to stability and handling challenges.
