SnS; Nanosheet; Vacuum Thermal Evaporation.Abstract
In this paper, two-dimensional SnS nanosheets of different sizes and morphology were synthesised by a facile vacuum thermal evaporation method. We systematically investigated the effects of growth time, evaporation source temperature, substrate temperature and substrate source distance on the size and morphology of nanosheets during the growth process. Two-dimensional SnS nanosheets with a lateral size of about 100 nm were prepared. The results will help to extend and deepen the basic and applied research on SnS two-dimensional materials.
