Sonochemical preparation of SnS and SnS2 nano- and micropowders and their characterization

Tunability in the optoelectrical performance of n-SnS(1−x)Sex thin films for photovoltaic applications

“…Even though Se and S elements are volatile, Se or S loss in synthesized powder may be caused by the heating process. 22,23 Based on EDS data, atomic percentage confirmed the formation of ternary SnSSe powder.…”

“…Even though Se and S elements are volatile, Se or S loss in synthesized powder may be caused by the heating process. 22,23 Based on EDS data, atomic percentage confirmed the formation of ternary SnSSe powder. A closer examination of the high-intensity diffraction peaks around 28-331 reveals an asymmetric line shape in both the TS A trend of Bragg peak shifting suggests forming an alloy system of tin-chalcogenide compounds in between SnS and SnSe compounds.…”

Recent progress on sonochemical production for the synthesis of efficient photocatalysts and the impact of reactor design

“…Matyszczak et al [87] , synthesised SnS and SnS 2 nano- and micropowders using sonochemistry varying synthesis conditions such as solvent, tin source (SnCl 2 or SnCl 4 ), thioacetamide molar ratio to the tin source and sonication time. It was observed that there is an influence of the used solvent on the sonochemistry as SnS 2 is mainly obtained by using methanol while SnS and SnS 2 , and other compounds are obtained when the solvent is ethylenediamine.…”

Dye-Modified, Sonochemically Obtained Nano-SnS2 as an Efficient Photocatalyst for Metanil Yellow Removal

“…The sonochemical syntheses were conducted in conical flasks of 50 mL volume in an ultrasonic cleaner (PS 10A) generating an ultrasound of 40 kHz frequency with a nominal power of ultrasounds at 60 W. The acoustic power determined calorimetrically was 27.9 W/L. The procedure for syntheses and purification of obtained powders was adopted from the Matyszczak et al investigation [24].…”

“…An additional advantage of this method is the possibility for wide modifications of synthesis conditions and combinations with other techniques, such as electrochemistry, allowing for better control of the properties of obtained particles [19][20][21]. As well as in the case of many materials, the synthesis of nanoand micropowders of SnS 2 via the sonochemical route was demonstrated and thoroughly investigated, showing the broad dependence of the optical energy bandgap, morphology, and particle size on the used reagents and the applied experimental conditions [22][23][24].…”
