Abstract

Abstract:

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are emerging electronic materials with a graphene-like structure. They can be used in different technological fields owing to the excellent electrical, optical, magnetic, mechanical properties, and have become a new hot spot in material science in recent years. Among these 2D semiconductors, SnS₂ is an environmentally-friendly electronic material composed of earth-abundant sulfur and tinelements. It has attracted a lot of attention due to the extensive application prospects in microelectronics, solar cells, photocatalysis and so on. This article mainly introduces research advancement of vapor deposition growth of SnS₂nanosheets and application in fields of electronics and optoelectronics.

Key words: vapor deposition, 2D semiconductors, SnS₂, device applications
