General Description
SnSe2 has been reported to have two different crystal structures: the 2H hexagonal phase, and the CdI2-type 1T phase. Currently, there is inconclusive evidence as to which phase is the most stable and frequently observed (2H-SnSe shown below). However, SnSe2 crystallises in the CdI2-type lattice.
Like most of the transitional metal dichalogenides (TMDCs), it is composed of two-dimensional Se-Sn-Se sheets stacked on top of one another, and characterised by strong covalent bonds between Se-Sn-Se atoms and weak interlayer Van der Waals bonds.
SnSe2 is an earth-abundant semiconductor with an n-type binary nature. The band gap of SnSe2 can be tuned from bulk to few-layer thin films with a wide electromagnetic spectrum range (from 1–2 eV). This makes it an attractive 2D material for various photoelectronic applications.
Applications
In the form of single or few-layer thin films, exfoliated tin disulfide (SnSe2) nanosheets can be used to fabricate devices such as supercapacitors, photodetectors, field-effect transistors, and Esaki tunnel diodes (when combined with phosphorene), based on exfoliated flakes.
Synthesis
Tin diselenide (SnSe2) is manufactured using chemical vapour transport (CVT) crystallisation, with crystals having a purity in excess of 99.999%.
Usage
Tin diselenide (SnSe2) single crystals can be used to prepare monolayer and few-layer SnSe2 by mechanical or liquid exfoliation.
