Here, we report comprehensive studies on the high-pressure structural and electrical transport properties of the layered transition metal chalcogenide (Cr₂S₃) up to 36.3 GPa. A structural phase transition was observed in the rhombohedral Cr₂S₃ near 16.5 GPa by the synchrotron angle dispersive X-ray diffraction measurement using a diamond anvil cell. Through in situ resistance measurement, the electric resistance value was detected to decrease by an order of three over the pressure range of 7–15 GPa coincided with the structural phase transition. Measurements on the temperature dependence of resistivity indicate that it is a semiconductor-to-metal transition in nature. Additionally, the results were also confirmed by the electronic energy band calculations. Above results may shed a light on optimizing the performance of Cr₂S₃ based applications under extreme conditions.
