Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted great attention recently. SnS/SnS 2 with sheet-like morphologies are widely used in photoelectric devices because of their excellent electronic transportation properties. In our study, by changing the mole ratios of SnCl 2 and C 2 H 5 NS at reaction temperatures as high as 280−300 °C, SnS rectangular nanosheets are converted successfully to SnS 2 hexagonal nanosheets with a one-pot method. SEM, XRD, Raman, and XPS analyses were utilized to examine the physical properties of the final products. Diffuse reflection spectra and PL spectra determined the bandgaps of SnS/SnS 2 to be about 1.49 and 2.19 eV, respectively. The photoelectric characteristics of SnS/SnS 2 nanosheets were also studied. FTO/SnS/SnS 2 / Pt photocathode was fabricated to enhance the photocurrent densities. Photocurrent densities as high as 26.7 μA/cm 2 were achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
