Abstract

SnS 2 nanoplates were synthesized via the liquid–solid phase reactions of tin (Sn), sulfur (S) and ammonium chloride (NH 4 Cl) powders in air at 250 °C, combined with a subsequent washing treatment using distilled water. The phase, purity, morphology and size of the obtained products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectra, and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The effects of additive NH 4 Cl on the phases of the resultant products were investigated, and the experimental results revealed that the additive NH 4 Cl played important roles in the synthesis of pure SnS 2 under the current mild conditions.
