NO 2 concentration in soil surface is one of the important indicators affecting soil nitrogen cycle. Real-time detection of NO 2 is crucial to optimize the use of nitrogen fertilizer and improve efficiency, which is also a key means to prevent soil acidification and increase crop yield. However, the humidity conditions on the soil surface increase the challenge of real-time detection of NO 2 . Therefore, a composite material of tungsten oxide (WO 3 ) composite tin sulfide (SnS 2 ) with heterogeneous structure was synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method. The composite material is seen to exist in the form of nanosheets. At the optimal working temperature of 210℃, the response of the composite material (WO 3 /SnS 2 (3:10)) with a molar ratio of WO 3 to SnS 2 of 3:10–20 ppm NO 2 is 63.8. The excellent gas sensing performance is attributed to the composition of heterojunction and the increase of deficiency oxygen. In the relative humidity (RH) range of 20–98 %, the response of the WO 3 /SnS 2 (3:10) has a good linearity ( R 2 =0.995). Therefore, the humidity compensation is integrated into the convenient NO 2 detection equipment to ensure that the WO 3 /SnS 2 (3:10) sensor can detect NO 2 stably and accurately under different humidity conditions. The NO 2 real-time detection system uses the OLED to display the humidity value and NO 2 concentration value in real time on the soil surface, and the buzzer as an alarm device for exceeding the concentration threshold (2 ppm NO 2 ), which reminds staff of the need to take action to adjust crop management strategies to improve crop health.

Two-dimensional (2D) ZnS-SnS 2 porous nanosheets are designed as clean and low cost photocatalysts for water splitting. The composites successfully combine high photoelectron reduction potential of ZnS with the sufficient sunlight harvesting ability of SnS 2 . Moreover, SnS 2 acts as an effective electron transfer medium from ZnS to SnS 2 due to the construction of quasi-type II structure. This greatly promotes the transfer of electron-hole pairs and effectively inhibits their recombination. Especially, the unique porous nanosheets structure maintains them high specific surface area and countless reactive sites, which increases the reactants' contact area and facilitates the migration of carriers upon photocatalysis . This further suppresses the charge recombination and improves the photocatalysts' stability. As a result, an optimized specific surface area of 246.7 m 2 g −1 and photocatalytic H 2 generation rate of 536 μmol h −1 g −1 are achieved in the absence of a surfactant and co-catalyst, which is 10 times higher than ZnS and 17 times higher than SnS 2 . In addition, the porous nanosheets have fairly good photocatalytic stability and can be reused at least five cycles without obvious changes in activity and structure. This work successfully presents the potential of ZnS and SnS 2 -based photocatalyst for clean and low cost hydrogen production from water splitting.

SnS 2 is considered a potential anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity, abundant resources and non-toxic properties. However, the low Na + diffusion kinetics and large volume expansion of SnS 2 hinder further development and application. Hence, the heterostructured MoS 2 /SnS 2 /NC nanospheres are synthetized through a facile hydrothermal reaction . By coating SnS 2 on MoS 2 templates, the heterojunction composite MoS 2 /SnS 2 /NC combines the advantages of the highly stable nanosphere structure of MoS 2 and the high theoretical capacity of SnS 2 . In conclusion, it delivers a high specific capacity of 603 mAh g −1 at 10 A g −1 after 2000 cycles and excellent rate performance of 750 mAh g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 . Furthermore, the full-battery of MoS 2 /SnS 2 /NC= |Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 exhibits a great capacity of 69.8 mAh g −1 at 100 mA g −1 after 100 cycles. The excellent electrochemical performance of the heterojunction material proves it to be an extraordinary anode material for SIBs.

During the photocatalytic CO 2 reduction process, fast charge transport, abundant active sites, and high visible light utilization in photocatalysts are key to achieving excellent CO 2 conversion efficiency. In this work, we have designed and prepared hierarchical CuS@SnS 2 p-n heterostructure hollow cubes for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. First, a monolayer of CuS was in situ generated on the pre-prepared Cu 2 O cubes to construct core–shell Cu 2 O@CuS cubes by sulfidation of Cu 2 O cubes. The following etching process led to the formation of CuS hollow cubes. Finally, the hierarchical CuS@SnS 2 p-n heterostructure hollow cubes were obtained by growing SnS 2 nanosheets on the CuS hollow cubes. The prepared CuS@SnS 2 p-n heterostructure hollow cubes showed an improved photocatalytic CO 2 reduction activity compared with the bare CuS and SnS 2 control samples. The p-n heterojunction formed between SnS 2 and CuS as well as its hollow structure enhanced the charge carrier separation efficiency and the light absorption capacity of the hybrid catalyst. Furthermore, after the decoration of Au nanoparticles, the formed Schottky junction further discouraged the charge carrier recombination. Thus, the cooperative p-n heterojunction and Schottky junction greatly facilitated photocatalytic CO 2 reduction, and exhibiting the maximum CO and CH 4 yields of 140.1 and 77.5 μmol g −1 h −1 , respectively. This work presents an efficient design of high-performance catalysts for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction.

New conceptions of developing various nanostructure materials supported on conductive substrates are urgently required for additive-free integrated electrodes for lithium ion batteries (LIBs). In this work, Mo-doped SnS2-based nanosheets were directly grown on a conductive substrate, carbon cloth, via a facile hydrothermal method. Significantly, the as-synthesized samples possess a three-dimensional network structure consisting of interconnected nanosheets, which can be directly employed as additive-free integrated electrodes for LIBs. The as-obtained CC@Sn0.9Mo0.1S2 nanosheets exhibit initial high discharge and charge capacities of 2033.6 and 1869.8 mA h g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1, with a coulombic efficiency of 91.9%. A high reversible discharge capacity of 1950.8 mA h g−1 is obtained after 200 cycles. Moreover, a high reversible capacity of 914.5 mA h g−1 is achieved even at a high current density of 5 A g−1, which significantly exceeds the theoretical capacity of commercial graphite and reversible capacity of SnS2. A full lithium ion battery was assembled composed of the CC@Sn0.9Mo0.1S2 anode and a commercial LiCoO2 cathode, which also delivered high capacity and cycling stability. The excellent electrochemical lithium storage performance of Mo-doped SnS2 could be attributed to the molybdenum doping, which limited the number of layers of the nanosheets, enlarged the interlayer spacing and generated rich defects.

Layered SnS 2 has attracted extensive attention as promising anode material for sodium-ion storage owing to its high theoretical specific capacity. However, the practical performance is always hindered by its inferior rate capability and severe capacity fading. Herein, a novel coherent SnS 2 /NiS 2 hetero-nanosheet arrays on carbon cloth (SnS 2 /NiS 2 @CC) is fabricated through a facile one-step solvothermal method by controlling the synchronous growth of SnS 2 and NiS 2 . Benefiting from the strong coupling effect between SnS 2 and NiS 2 , and thus the markedly elevated electrical conductivity and charge transfer rate for sodiation/desodiation reaction, such composite exhibits significantly enhanced performance than its pure SnS 2 counterpart as the anode for sodium-ion battery, presenting a high reversible capacity (909.2 mA h g −1 of the fifth cycle at 200 mA g −1 ), excellent rate capability (360 mA h g −1 at 5 A g −1 ) and satisfying cycling stability (588.9 and 343.2 mA h g −1 at 0.5 and 2 A g −1 after 100 cycles, respectively). Moreover, the measured Na + diffusion coefficient for such SnS 2 /NiS 2 @CC electrode is almost two orders of magnitude higher than that of pure SnS 2 @CC. Such heterogeneous structuring for enhancing the rate performance could offer an effectively alternative way for the development of advanced electrode materials for energy storage devices.

The use of semiconductor photocatalytic reduction technology has higher efficiency and lower energy consumption for CO 2 reduction, but its existence of some mismatched energy band positions and relatively slow charge-hole separation greatly limits its practical application. In this paper, a SnS 2 /Au/g-C 3 N 4 embedded structure model with carbon and nitrogen hybridization is proposed to gain an in-depth understanding of the role of hybridization and precious metal modification in photocatalysis. Carriers were investigated from the perspective of kinetics through photocurrent, LSV curve, and FL spectroscopy. After modification of Au nanoparticles, the photo-excited electrons showed a slower decay process, indicating that the separation of carriers was enhanced, which was further confirmed by impedance and PL spectroscopy. SEM, AFM and TEM analysis confirmed that the 2D face-to-face SnS 2 /Au/g-C 3 N 4 embedded structure was successfully prepared and the Au nanoparticles were evenly distributed. Au nanoparticles not only act as a bridge for electron transport in 2D semiconductor materials to accelerate electron transport, but generate more excited electrons by themselves under the radiation of sunlight, which effectively improves the separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs and enhances the photocatalyst activity. DFT calculations show that the Z-type mechanism and the intercalated energy level of the SnS 2 /Au/g-C 3 N 4 embedded structure expand the light absorption and improve the carrier separation efficiency. As expected, the photocatalyst activity with CO and CH 4 the evolution rate of up 93.81 µmol·g −1 ·h −1 and 74.98 µmol·g −1 ·h −1 under visible light irradiation, respectively, while the photocatalytic activity is negligible loss after 30 h photoreduction. This work reveals the role of embedded structure and precious metal modification in the separation and transmission of electron-hole, opening up new perspective for achieving high-efficiency solar CO 2 reduction performance.

The energy level alignment (ELA) between electron transport layers (ETLs) and perovskite layers would affect the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), especially for the open-circuit voltage (Voc). However, systematic investigations were rarely reported. In this letter, a series of SnS2/SnS composite ETLs were in situ synthesized, where the doping of SnS was used to adjust the energy level of SnS2 nanosheets. Results showed that electrons could be transferred from perovskite layers to ETLs; even the conduction band (CB) of ETLs was a little higher than that of perovskite layers. In comparison with PSCs based on SnS2 ETLs, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs based on SnS2/SnS was enhanced by 27.95% (from 14.13% to 18.08%) with a higher Voc promotion (from 0.94 to 1.08 V). A corresponding explanation and working principle have been proposed. In addition, a stability test demonstrated that PSCs based on SnS2/SnS ETLs possessed much better stability than that of traditional PSCs based on TiO2 ETLs because of the strong interaction of Pb and S. This work proposes a promising future for reducing the Voc loss and improving the stability of perovskites.

Photocatalysis-peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation system is regarded as a promising strategy for antibiotic degradation. Herein, a type-II SnS 2 /NiFe LDH heterojunction assembled by nanosheets was constructed to realize the dual modulation of photogenerated carrier directional migration and PMS activation sites. The intimate and large coupled interface facilitated the charge separation and transfer. And the optimization of the electronic structure in the heterojunction enabled good visible light absorption capacity. Benefiting from the construction of type-II heterojunction, the Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ and Ni 2+ /Ni 3+ redox cycles in SnS 2 /NiFe LDH had been greatly improved, which further promoted the PMS activation. The constructed heterojunction achieved excellent metronidazole (MNZ) degradation performance (93.9% removal within 30 min) via PMS activation-assisted photocatalysis under visible light irradiation, which was greatly enhanced compared to the control conditions of photocatalysis without PMS (3.5%) or without light irradiation (78.1%). It also demonstrated excellent stability and functioned well across a wide pH range (3–11). The quenching experiments revealed that ·OH and h + were the main reactive species for MNZ oxidation. The mechanism analysis further confirmed that the transfer of photogenerated carriers was consistent with the type-II mode. This study is expected to provide new insights into design and application of type-II heterojunction in PMS activation for efficient wastewater treatment. Graphical abstract

SnS 2 was hybridized with BaTiO 3 to form an efficient and cheap Z-scheme heterojuncted SnS 2 /BaTiO 3 photocatalyst by depositing nanosized SnS 2 on the surface of commercial micro-sized BaTiO 3 . Multiple characterization techniques have been employed to study the as-prepared samples. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) results reveal that SnS 2 partly covers BaTiO 3 . The photoluminescence (PL) spectra and the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) investigation exhibit that the heterojunction SnS 2 /BaTiO 3 has improved the separation and transfer of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs. UV–Vis-DRS and Mott-Schottky measurement give the estimated E g , E CB , and corresponding calculated E VB , which meet the requirements of Z-scheme. The photocatalytic efficiency (degradation is 98% within 20 min) has been greatly enhanced much higher than pure SnS 2 . Free radical trapping experiments indicates that superoxide (•O 2 − ) is the dominant active species of the reaction system. The improved photocatalytic performance, as well as the free radical trapping experiments support the Z-scheme mechanism for composite photocatalyst SnS 2 /BaTiO 3 . This work reveals that Z-scheme composite SnS 2 /BaTiO 3 has prospect in treating organic pollution in waste water.

Constructing highly efficient catalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants driven by solar light in aquatic environments is a promising and green strategy. In this study, a novel hexagonal sheet-like Pt/SnS2heterojunction photocatalyst is successfully designed and fabricated using a hydrothermal method and photodeposition process for photocatalytic tetracycline (TC) degradation. The optimal Pt/SnS2hybrid behaves with excellent photocatalytic performance, with a degradation efficiency of 91.27% after 120 min, a reaction rate constant of 0.0187 min−1, and durability, which can be attributed to (i) the formation of a metal/semiconductor interface field caused by loading Pt nanoparticles (NPs) on the surface of SnS2, facilitating the separation of photo-induced charge carriers; (ii) the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of Pt NPs, extending the light absorption range; and (iii) the sheet-like structure of SnS2, which can shorten the transmission distance of charge carriers, thereby allowing more electrons (e−) and holes (h+) to transfer to the surface of the catalyst. This work provides new insights with the utilization of sheet-like structured materials for highly active photocatalytic TC degradation in wastewater treatment and environmental remediation.

The continuous discharging of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) significantly damaged global environment and human health. In this study, SnS 2 microflowers/Ti 3 C 2 MXene heterostructure was modified by Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the detection of NO 2 at room temperature. The microcomposite decorated with 6 wt% AuNPs exhibited excellent sensing properties including response value of 5.34 to 1 ppm NO 2 , which was almost 5 times higher than that of undecorated one. The limit of detection lowered from 500 ppb to 5 ppb with the addition of AuNPs. Besides, the AuNPs decorated SnS 2 /MXene microcomposite revealed good selectivity, fatigue resistance, as well as potential application towards flexible sensing. The NO 2 gas sensing mechanism of AuNPs decorated with SnS 2 /Ti 3 C 2 MXene microcomposite was discussed through density functional theory calculation on adsorption behavior and transferred charges in detail. This work may provide an important pathway for the future development of NO 2 sensors at room temperature.
