“…Two-dimensional (2D) materials consisting of atomically thin sheets with covalent intralayer bonding and van der Waals interlayer bonding have attracted significant attention due to their fascinating physicochemical properties. , Shaping 2D materials into one-dimensional (1D) nanoribbons is one of the effective strategies for tuning or enhancing their electronic, magnetic, and optical properties as a result of the large aspect ratio, quantum confinement, and edge effect, enabling their applications in multidisciplinary areas such as photodetectors, sensing, field emission, energy storage, and catalysis. − As one important class of 2D materials, layered group IV–VIA monochalcogenides (e.g., SnS, SnSe, GeSe, and GeS) are recognized as analogues of phosphorene with buckled structures, which give rise to their structural anisotropy manifested in the Raman response, nonlinear optical property, electrical mobility, and photoactivity. − Of particular interest, SnS is a p-type semiconductor with a sizable bandgap, and few-layer SnS exhibits desirable electronic and optoelectronic properties such as a large absorption coefficient, tunable electrical conductivity, and high carrier mobility. − Moreover, SnS is chemically stable, abundant on Earth, and nontoxic. , These advantageous features render SnS a promising candidate to be employed in various applications such as photodetectors, photovoltaic cells, and field-effect transistors …”
