Morphology-controlled SnS2 nanostructures synthesized by refluxing method with high photocatalytic activity

Without using any templates or surfactants, SnS2 nanoparticles and nanosheets are successfully synthesized via a simple and convenient refluxing method. Both SnS2 nanoparticles and nanosheets are hexagonal SnS2 phase. SnS2 nanoparticles synthesized at low temperature create a high density of sulfur vacancies. SnS2 nanosheets show high adsorption capacities owing to the special morphology and large specific surface area, while SnS2 nanoparticles...
