“…where I represent the intensity of X-rays trace, I 0 is standard intensity and N is number of peaks [12]. The texture co-efficient and crystallite size are calculated as 1.84 and 90 nm for the peak (0 0 2) respectively, which is the preferred orientation of the growth.…”

SnS thin films were grown on glass substrates by a simple route named successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. The films were prepared using tin chloride as tin (Sn) source and ammonium sulfide as sulphur (S) source. The structural, optical and morphological study was done using XRD, FESEM, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. XRD measurement confirmed the presence of orthorhombic phase. Particle size estimated from XRD was about 45 nm which fitted well with the FESEM measurement. The value of band gap was about 1.63 eV indicating that SnS can be used as an important material for thin film solar cells. The surface morphology showed a smooth, homogenous film over the substrate. Characteristic stretching vibration mode of SnS was observed in the absorption band of FT-IR spectrum. The electrical activation energy was about 0.306 eV.

“…This varied from that of CdS, which may have been due to an associated change in the crystal structure from hexagonal to cubic. 24 From the SEM image shown in Figure 3(h), the K 4 Nb 6 O 17 particles were found to exhibit a relatively uniform size distribution of approximately 1-3 μm. The morphology of the prepared Cd 0.8 Zn 0.2 S/K 4 Nb 6 O 17 , shown in Figure 3(i), indicated that nano-Cd 0.8 Zn 0.2 S particles were uniformly dispersed on the surface of K 4 Nb 6 O 17 with a size distribution within 50 nm.…”

Cd 1-x Zn x S-sensitized K 4 Nb 6 O 17 composite photocatalysts (designated Cd 1-x Zn x S/K 4 Nb 6 O 17 ) were prepared via a simple deposition-precipitation method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), N 2 sorption, ultraviolet-visible light diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), photoluminescence measurements (PL), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Cd 0.8 Zn 0.2 S particles were scattered on the surface of K 4 Nb 6 O 17 , and had a relatively uniform size distribution around 50 nm. The absorption edge of K 4 Nb 6 O 17 was shifted to the visible light region and the recombination of photo-generated electrons and holes suppressed after Cd 0.8 Zn 0.2 S loading. The Cd 0.8 Zn 0.2 S(25 wt %)/K 4 Nb 6 O 17 composite possessed the highest photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production under visible light irradiation, evolving 8.278 mmol/g in 3 h. Recyclability tests were performed, and the composite photocatalysts were found to be fairly stable. The mechanism of charge separation between the photogenerated electrons and holes at the Cd 0.8 Zn 0.2 S/K 4 Nb 6 O 17 composite was discussed.
