“…All of the films analyzed have high absorption coefficients (a [ 10 4 cm -1 above the fundamental absorption). The band gaps were evaluated by extending linear part of the plots of (ahm) 2 versus hm [43]. The band gap of the Sn 1.32 S films formed at 200°C is 1.88 eV.…”

Tin(II)O-ethylxanthate [Sn(S 2 COEt) 2 ] was prepared and used as a single-source precursor for the deposition of SnS thin films by a melt method. Polycrystalline, (111)-orientated, orthorhombic SnS films with controllable elemental stoichiometries (of between Sn 1.3 S and SnS) were reliably produced by selecting heating temperatures between 200 and 400°C. The direct optical band gaps of the SnS films ranged from 1.26 to 1.88 eV and were strongly influenced by its Sn/S ratio. The precursor [Sn(S 2 COEt) 2 ] was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis and attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The as-prepared SnS films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffractometry, Raman spectroscopy, and UV-Vis spectroscopy.

Synthesis of SnS nanocrystals by the solvothermal decomposition of a single source precursor

SnS nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized from bis(diethyldithiocarbamato) tin(II) in oleylamine at elevated temperature. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) investigation and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the synthesized SnS particles are monocrystalline with an orthorhombic structure. The shape and size tunability of SnS NCs can be achieved by controlling the reaction temperature and time, and the nature of the stabilizing ligands. The comparison between experimental optical band gap values shows evidence of quantum confinement of SnS NCs. Prepared SnS NCs display strong absorption in the visible and near-infrared (NIR) spectral regions making them promising candidates for solar cell energy conversion.

“…Several techniques have been employed for preparing SnS films namely: SILAR (successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction) [5], chemical bath deposition (CBD) [6], electron beam evaporation [7], Spray pyrolysis [8], etc. Among these techniques, spray pyrolysis is a versatile and low-cost one.…”
