Abstract
This study investigates the structural, optical, and electrical properties of tin disulfide (SnS2) and SnS2-graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets synthesized via chemical bath deposition method (CBD). Structural characterization confirms the formation of hexagonal crystal phases with nanosheet morphology. It shows a well distribution of nanosheet average square sizes of 10 nm for SnS2 and 6 nm for SnS2-GO. Optical analysis shows blue shifts in absorption edges compared to bulk SnS2, attributed to quantum confinement effects. Photoluminescence emission peaks exhibit different energy levels in SnS2-GO originated to native defects. The composites show a sharp reduced of PL intensity due to enhanced charge carrier separation. Electrical measurements on SnS2-GO thin films demonstrate negative differential resistance (NDR) behavior in both planar and sandwich contact configurations, suggesting electron injection/extraction mechanisms. The NDR phenomenon exhibits a dependence on voltage scan rate, indicating the involvement of electronic and ionic elements in charge transport mechanisms. Overall, this study provides insights into the NDR properties of SnS2-GO nanocomposite, laying the groundwork for their potential applications in optoelectronics and nanoelectronics.
