Zn-doped SnS with sulfur vacancies for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water

Abstract

Tin sulfide has attracted considerable attention due to its adjustable optoelectronic properties. However, few present pieces of literature focus on the photocatalytic water splitting performance of stannous sulfide (SnS), despite...

Phase control in solution deposited tin monosulfide thin films: the role of Pb2+ cations

“…[41][42][43][44] It is well-known that the physical properties of thin films and nanoparticles, and specifically their electrical, optical, structural, and magnetic properties, can strongly depend on foreign dopants. 45,46 A variety of elements were incorporated within SnS thin films and nanoparticles to control their properties, including Se, 47 In, [48][49][50] Ni, 51 Cu, 52,53 Zn, 54,55 Al, 56 Bi, 57,58 Sb, 20 Ag, 59 Cd 60 and Fe. [61][62][63] Specifically, there are several reports on thin films of SnS deposited in the presence of Pb 2+ cations.…”
