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.
