摘要: Undoped and Zn-doped SnS nanostructures have been successfully synthesized through an electrodeposition process by using SnCl2 Na2S2O3 as precursors on fluorine-doped tin oxide-coated (FTO) glass substrates with different zinc concentrations. The structure, surface morphology, the optical properties of films are studied. X-ray diffraction patterns nanostructure confirm orthorhombic structure. Scanning electron microscopy shows thin homogeneous uniform well, adding Zn ions, morphology changed from cubic to rod. Energy dispersive spectroscopy presence in films. All samples characterized UV–Vis reflectance measurement wavelength range 500–1200 nm. energy band gap values, calculated reflectance, between 1.46 1.49 eV, being suitable for absorbers layers photovoltaic applications. Eventually, studying photocurrent responses revealed that exhibited better response than undoped nanostructures.
