Synthesis

Tin sulfide?(SnS)?is manufactured using chemical vapour transport (CVT) crystallisation, with crystals having a purity in excess of 99.999%.

Preparation

Synthetic?- Chemical Vapour Transport (CVT)

Description

Tin sulfide (SnS), with a direct energy band-gap of about 1.3 eV, and a high optical absorption coefficient over 5 × 104 cm-1,?is a promising new candidate for applications in the next generation of photovoltaic solar cells. Made of earth-abundant, relatively cheap and environmentally-nontoxic elements, SnS is solution processable and stable in both alkaline and acidic conditions.

Chemical Properties

Dark-gray or black, crystalline powder. Soluble in concentrated hydrochloric acid (decomposes); insoluble in dilute acids and water.
