[PMID: 36558350 PMCID: PMC9786647 DOI: 10.3390/nano12244497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Dimensional nanomaterials can offer enhanced application properties benefiting from their sizes and morphological orientations. Tin disulfide (SnS2) and carbon are typical sources of dimensional nanomaterials. SnS2 is a semiconductor with visible light adsorption properties and has shown high energy density and long cycle life in energy storage processes. The integration of SnS2 and carbon materials has shown enhanced visible light absorption and electron transmission efficiency. This helps to alleviate the volume expansion of SnS2 which is a limitation during energy storage processes and provides a favorable bandgap in photocatalytic degradation. Several innovative approaches have been geared toward controlling the size, shape, and hybridization of SnS2/Carbon composite nanostructures. However, dimensional nanomaterials of SnS2 and SnS2/Carbon have rarely been discussed. This review summarizes the synthesis methods of zero-, one-, two-, and three-dimensional SnS2 and SnS2/Carbon composite nanomaterials through wet and solid-state synthesis strategies. Moreover, the unique properties that promote their advances in photocatalysis and energy conversion and storage are discussed. Finally, some remarks and perspectives on the challenges and opportunities for exploring advanced SnS2/Carbon nanomaterials are presented.

Abstract
Semiconductor nanoparticle-mediated photocatalysis is an attractive option for water decontamination, being the semiconductors as SnS2 with a bandgap in the visible region, the most promising materials. In the present work, we evaluated the influence of important parameters in the photocatalytic application of SnS2 nanoparticles. Our results show that the presence of citric acid (used as a capping agent) restricts the formation of hexagonal nanoparticles. We also demonstrated that using thioacetamide as a sulfur source results in smaller nanoparticles than thiourea, 24.0 nm and 616 nm respectively. Moreover, small hexagonal nanoparticles play a key role in the photocatalytic activity of SnS2 nanoparticles. Compared with TiO2 performance, SnS2 nanoparticles exhibited faster kinetics for methyl orange (MO) degradation, Kapp = 0.0102 min-1, and 0.029 min-1, respectively. We proved that SnS2 is capable of breaking the azo bond of methyl orange by direct reduction. Furthermore, our analyses indicate that SnS2 nanoparticles do not degrade atrazine and imazapic, but the photocatalytic route of metribuzin competed with photolysis, resulting in a particular transformation product that was not obtained with light irradiation only. We demonstrated that SnS2 nanoparticles have high bond selectivity for azo breaking. Furthermore, they represent an advance for the development of designed materials (such as heterostructures), where the properties of SnS2 can be tuned.

Abstract
To date, extensive studies have been done on solar cells on how to harness the unpleasant climatic condition for the binary benefits of renewable energy sources and potential energy solutions. Photovoltaic (PV) is considered as, not only as the future of humanity's source of green energy, but also as a reliable solution to the energy crisis due to its sustainability, abundance, easy fabrication, cost-friendly and environmentally hazard-free nature. PV is grouped into first, second and third-generation cells. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), classified as third-generation PV, have gained more ground in recent times. This is linked to their transparency, high efficiency, shape, being cost-friendly and flexibility of colour. However, further improvement of DSSCs by quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) has increased their efficiency through the use of semiconducting materials, such as quantum dots (QDs), as sensitizers. This has paved way for the fabrication of semiconducting QDs to replace the ideal DSSCs with quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). Moreover, there are no absolute photosensitizers that can cover all the infrared spectrum, the infusion of QD metal sulphides with better absorption could serve as a breakthrough. Metal sulphides, such as PbS, SnS and CuS QDs could be used as photosensitizers due to their strong near infrared (NIR) absorption properties. A few great dependable and reproducible routes to synthesize better QD size have attained much ground in the past and of late. The injection of these QD materials, which display (NIR) absorption with localized surface plasmon resonances (SPR), due to self-doped p-type carriers and photocatalytic activity could enhance the performance of the solar cell. This review will be focused on QDs in solar cell applications, the recent advances in the synthesis method, their stability, and long term prospects of QDSSCs efficiency.

Abstract
Abstract
Microfluidics is an emerging branch of science that has significant applications in various fields. In this review paper, after a brief introduction to the concept of photocatalysis, nanoparticle preparation methods and film formation techniques have been studied. Nanoparticle synthesis in microfluidic systems and microreactor types for on-chip photocatalyst synthesis and challenges of nanoparticles handling in microsystems have been reviewed. To resolve particle polydispersity and microchannel clogging, a good suggestion can be the use of droplet-based microreactors. The configurative designs for the microfluidic reactor with immobilized photocatalysts, their applications, and their challenges have been comprehensively addressed. The three main challenges ahead the immobilized photocatalytic microfluidic reactors are optimal light distribution, prevention of the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, and improved mass transfer. Internal light-emitting diodes with a waveguide can resolve the number one challenge of photocatalysis application in optofluidic reactors, that is, light distribution.

Abstract
The photochemical synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) nanostructured from semiconductor materials is unique and challenging. We report, for the first time, the photochemical synthesis of 2D tin di/sulfide (PS-SnS₂-x, x = 0 or 1) from thioacetamide (TAA) and tin (IV) chloride in an aqueous system. The synthesized PS-SnS₂-x were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), a particle size distribution analyzer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal analysis, UV⁻Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DR UV⁻Vis), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. In this study, the PS-SnS₂-x showed hexagonally closed-packed crystals having nanosheets morphology with the average size of 870 nm. Furthermore, the nanosheets PS-SnS₂-x demonstrated reusable photo-degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye as a water pollutant, owing to the stable electronic conducting properties with estimated bandgap (Eg) at ~2.5 eV. Importantly, the study provides a green protocol by using photochemical synthesis to produce 2D nanosheets of semiconductor materials showing photo-degradation activity under sunlight response.

Abstract
SnS nanocrystals were synthesized using bis(phenylpiperazine dithiocarbamate)tin(II) in oleic acid (OA) and octadecylamine (ODA) at three different temperatures (150, 190, and 230°C). XRD diffraction pattern confirms that OASnS and ODASnS nanoparticles are in the orthorhombic phase and the type of capping agent used affects the crystallinity. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images shows spherically shaped nanocrystals for oleic acid capped SnS (OASnS) while octadecylamine (ODASnS) are cubic. Monodispersed SnS of size range 10.67–17.74 nm was obtained at 150°C for OASnS while the biggest-sized nanocrystals were obtained at 230°C for ODASnS. Temperature and capping agents tuned the crystallite sizes and shapes of the as-prepared nanocrystals. Electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy indicates the formation of tin sulphide with the presence of Sn and S peaks in the nanocrystals. Flowery and agglomerated spherical-like morphology were observed for ODASnS and OASnS nanocrystals, respectively, using a SEM (scanning electron microscope). Direct electronic band gaps of the synthesized SnS nanocrystals are 1.71–1.95 eV and 1.93–2.81 eV for OASnS and ODASnS nanocrystals, respectively.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has attracted increasing attention in the field of hydrogen-based economy, whereat developing cheap and efficient catalysts to reduce the use of Pt-based catalysts is highly required. Tin disulfide (SnS2) as a new rising star has exhibited intriguing properties in energy storage and conversion applications, while showing slow progress in HER due to the inherent poor activity. Herein, we demonstrate the successful structural engineering and simultaneous integration of trace amount Pt in SnS2 nanosheets via a facile and effective in situ cycling voltammetry activation process, leading to the efficiently synergistic HER. Defect-rich SnS2 nanosheets decorated with a trace amount (0.37 wt %) of Pt exhibit greatly enhanced HER activity due to the synergy between them, revealing low onset potential of 32 mV and overpotential of 117 mV at 10 mA/cm2, small Tafel slope of 69 mV/dec, and large exchange current density of 394.46 μA/cm2. Present work provides an intriguing strategy for developing ultralow loading Pt electrocatalysts with high HER performance.

Abstract
The crystalline two-dimensional thiostannate Sn3S7(trenH)2 [tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine] consists of negatively charged (Sn3S72−)n polymeric sheets with trenH+ molecular species embedded in-between. The semiconducting compound is a violet light absorber with a band gap of 3.0 eV. In this study the compound was synthesized and functionalized by introducing the cationic dyes Methylene Blue (MB) or Safranin T (ST) into the crystal structure by ion exchange. Dye capacities up to approximately 45 mg/g were obtained, leading to major changes of the light absorption properties of the dye stained material. Light absorption was observed in the entire visible light region from red to violet, the red light absorption becoming more substantial with increasing dye content. The ion exchange reaction was followed in detail by variation of solvent, temperature and dye concentration. Time-resolved studies show that the ion exchange follows pseudo-second order kinetics and a Langmuir adsorption mechanism. The pristine and dye stained compounds were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy revealing that the honeycomb hexagonal pore structure of the host material was maintained by performing the ion exchange in the polar organic solvent acetonitrile, while reactions in water caused a break-down of the long-range ordered structure.

Abstract
There has been a growing interest in gathering together photocatalysis of semiconductors, like cuprous oxide (Cu2O), and the excellent electron transmittability of graphene to produce a graphene-based semiconductor for photocatalytic degradation. In this paper, a mild one-pot in situ synthesis of cubic cuprous oxide-reduced graphene oxide (Cu2O-RGO) nanocomposites has been proposed for the removal of methyl orange. In contrast to pure cubic Cu2O particles under similar preparation conditions, the cubic Cu2O-RGO nanocomposites demonstrate enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity for methyl orange dye with a 100% degradation rate in 100 min. The enhanced photocatalytic performance is mainly attributed to the increased charge transportation, effective separation of photoelectrons from vacancies, and the improved contact area.
