Abstract:
The research examines the synthesis of rod-shaped Tin Sulphide nanocrystals under controlled conditions at low temperatures using a cost-effective co-precipitation technique. Tin Sulphide is one of the notable representatives of the family of group four- to six-semiconductors, which has gained popularity due to its earth-abundant nature and non-toxicity. The study aims to obtain specific rod-like shapes that are important for improving carrier mobility in optoelectronic applications. Researchers looked at an extensive dataset of 481 experimental cases that recorded fluctuations in precursor concentrations, thermal values, and stirring rates. This has been analysed using advanced computational software, such as a structural modelling computer program and statistical software, to verify the data. Researchers have found that keeping the temperature below 90 °C allows the growth of a high-purity orthorhombic structure with a substantial longitudinal orientation. To determine the chemical composition and purity of the synthesised nanocrystals, the crystals were characterised using diffraction and spectroscopic techniques. This experimental strategy points to the consistency of the co-precipitation pathway in the creation of scalable semiconductor products.
