“…With its high specific capacity, low cost, nontoxicity, and high electrical conductivity, SnS is a promising material for various applications, such as in LIBs, field-emission applications, photodetector devices, photocatalysts, and optoelectronics [11,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. SnS with various nanostructures have been successfully synthesized through different methods [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][22][23][24]. Nevertheless, the following issues are still inevitable: 1) synthesis is complicated and mostly requires the use of hexamethyldisilazane and annealing treatment under high temperature in N 2 gas; [5,12]; 2) limited control of SnS phase and morphology [11,14,18,23]; 3) andpoor electrochemical properties due toexcessive volume expansion during cycling [25].…”
