Wurtzite and kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanocrystals were employed as counter electrode (CE) materials for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Compared to kesterite CZTS, the wurtzite CZTS exhibited higher electrocatalytic activity for catalyzing reduction of iodide electrolyte and better conductivity. Accordingly, the DSSC with wurtzite CZTS CE generated higher power conversion efficiency (6.8...

Due to the increasing energy demand and public awareness of climate change environmental problems, sustainable development has become one most strategic areas research. In this work, a hybrid layered thermoelectric material is produced, which consists combination poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) tin sulfide (SnS). The films are produced by electrochemical deposition SnS on surface PEDOT...

In this paper, tin Sulfide (SnS) nanoparticles are synthesized with three different solvents through hydrothermal method and characterized by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-DRS spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared energy-dispersive spectrum, supercapacitor, photovoltaic performance. XRD patterns indicate that the prepared SnS exist in orthorhombic phase. The SEM a...

The substrate's nature plays an important role in the characteristics of semiconductor films because thermal and lattice mismatching between film substrate. In this study, tin sulfide (SnS) nanostructured thin were grown on different substrates (polyester, glass, silicon) using a simple low-cost chemical bath deposition technique. structural, morphological, optical properties investigated X-ray...

Abstract. The sulfidic waste dumps of the historical mining sites Giftkies and Kaňk (Czech Republic) have been exposed to a temperate climate over decades. This exposure generated low-pH conditions caused by metal sulfide decomposition. Tin sulfides stannite–kësterite series [Cu2(Fe,Zn)SnS4] are common Sn minerals in ores at investigated sites. They decompose under acidic oxidizing form situ se...
