“…Moreover, the binding energies at 486.5 and 495.0 eV correspond to 3d 5/2 and 3d 3/2, respectively, in Sn 3d spectrum, indicating the presence of a reduction state of Sn 3 + . [25][26][27][28] The binding energy difference between Sn 3d 5/2 and Sn 3d 3/2 is 8.4 eV, which was identical to results reported by Avellaneda et al [27] The highresolution S 2p spectrum of the S-2 sample can be split into two peaks at 161.4 and 162.6 eV, corresponding to S 2p 3/2 and S 2p 1/2 , respectively, suggesting the existence of S 1.5À in the sample.

Metallic tin (Sn) compounds are viewed as promising candidates for sodium-ion batteries (SIB) anode materials yet suffer from large volume expansion and limited electrode kinetics. Manufacturing rational structure is a crucial factor to achieve high-efficiency sodium storage for SIBs. In this study, nano Sn 2 S 3 embedded in nitrogenous-carbon compounds (nano-Sn 2 S 3 /C) was designed for SIB anode materials via a facile three-step strategy: precipitation, heat treatment and vulcanization with no templating agent. Density functional theory calculations suggested that Sn 2 S 3 displayed a low Na + diffusion energy barrier and the SnÀ S bonds could be rebuilt during the sodiation/de-sodiation process. Notably, electrochemical measurements coupled with ex-situ X-ray diffraction and ex-situ transmission electron microscopy were proposed to reveal the underlying Na + storage mechanisms. Sn 2 S 3 acted as a highcapacity composition, while the porous nitrogenous-carbon matrix served as a rigid-conductive frame to accommodate the volume expansion and prevented the aggregation of nano Sn 2 S 3 . The rationally generated architectures benefited greatly in rate capacity and structural stability. As expected, the asprepared nano Sn 2 S 3 /C exhibited remarkable rate capabilities with a specific capacity of 603 and 160 mAh g À 1 under typical conditions at 0.2 and 4 A g À 1 , respectively. This work may trigger new enthusiasm for engineering high-performance SIB anode materials.

“…The peak splitting energy of Sn 3d 5/2 and Sn 3d 3/2 levels was approximately 8.3 eV. The binding energies of Sn 3d doublets and their spin energy separations were similar to the values reported [33]. A complete spectrum of the S 2p core level revealed two peaks with binding energies of 162.5 eV and 161.2 eV, which correspond to the S 2p 5/2 and S 2p 3/2 energy levels of S atoms in the Sn 2− valence state, respectively, which is consistent with the energies of the S 2− -Sn 4+ bond, confirming the presence of a single-phase SnS 2 in the synthesized nanoparticles [34].…”

“…This kind of recombination loss may decrease with the increasing SnS 2 thickness. According to a previous report [33], the increase in the thickness of the CdS buffer layer resulted in increased light absorption loss by CdS, but decreased reflection loss. Therefore, SnS 2 thickness optimization is necessary to minimize the photocurrent loss by recombination to ensure the quality of the CIGS/SnS 2 junction and to improve the performance characteristics of the CIGS SnS2 device.…”

Energy consumption and environmental pollution are major issues faced by the world. The present study introduces a single solution using SnS2 for these two major global problems. SnS2 nanoparticles and thin films were explored as an adsorbent to remove organic toxic materials (Rhodamine B (RhB)) from water and an alternative to the toxic cadmium sulfide (CdS) buffer for thin-film solar cells, respectively. Primary characterization tools such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy were used to analyze the SnS2 nanoparticles and thin films. At a reaction time of 180 min, 0.4 g/L of SnS2 nanoparticles showed the highest adsorption capacity of 85% for RhB (10 ppm), indicating that SnS2 is an appropriate adsorbent. The fabricated Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) device with SnS2 as a buffer showed a conversion efficiency (~5.1%) close to that (~7.5%) of a device fabricated with the conventional CdS buffer, suggesting that SnS2 has potential as an alternative buffer.

Liquid‐Metal Synthesized Ultrathin SnS Layers for High‐Performance Broadband Photodetectors

et al. 2020

Atomically thin materials face an ongoing challenge of scalability, hampering practical deployment despite their fascinating properties. Tin monosulfide (SnS), a low‐cost, naturally abundant layered material with a tunable bandgap, displays properties of superior carrier mobility and large absorption coefficient at atomic thicknesses, making it attractive for electronics and optoelectronics. However, the lack of successful synthesis techniques to prepare large‐area and stoichiometric atomically thin SnS layers (mainly due to the strong interlayer interactions) has prevented exploration of these properties for versatile applications. Here, SnS layers are printed with thicknesses varying from a single unit cell (0.8 nm) to multiple stacked unit cells (≈1.8 nm) synthesized from metallic liquid tin, with lateral dimensions on the millimeter scale. It is reveal that these large‐area SnS layers exhibit a broadband spectral response ranging from deep‐ultraviolet (UV) to near‐infrared (NIR) wavelengths (i.e., 280–850 nm) with fast photodetection capabilities. For single‐unit‐cell‐thick layered SnS, the photodetectors show upto three orders of magnitude higher responsivity (927 A W−1) than commercial photodetectors at a room‐temperature operating wavelength of 660 nm. This study opens a new pathway to synthesize reproduceable nanosheets of large lateral sizes for broadband, high‐performance photodetectors. It also provides important technological implications for scalable applications in integrated optoelectronic circuits, sensing, and biomedical imaging.
