摘要
A new SnS polymorph (delta-SnS) has been obtained by cathodic electrodeposition on SnO2:F glass electrodes from warm (50-90 degrees C) acidic solutions with tartaric acid. Characterizations of the as-deposited films by energy dispersive spectroscopy confirm a 1:1 Sn/S chemistry, X-ray diffraction shows that delta-SnS has a primitive orthorhombic symmetry, and UV/vis spectroscopy shows a direct optical band gap of 1.05 eV. The structure was converted to the alpha-SnS phase (reduced a and c lattice constants, direct optical transition of 1.2 eV) following argon annealing above 270 degrees C. Scanning electron microscopy images indicate pseudomorphic replacement of plate-like nanoparticles after annealing.
