The study demonstrates that SnO-ML has high optical transmission, making it a potential material for optoelectronics and solar cell applications, as well as showing improvements in thermoelectric properties.
In this study, we used first principles calculations to investigate the influence of extracting the SnO (ML) monolayer, through electronic, optical and transport properties. Our simulation results of high optical transmission of SnO-ML comprehend the previously reported theoretical results. It shows around 96% optical transmission. These characteristics suggest that the SnO-ML is a potential material for optoelectronic and solar cell applications. In terms of thermoelectric properties, the electrical conductivity has been significantly improved at low temperature, the power factor and figure of merit are enhanced in SnO-ML. The materials' specifications considered that two-dimensional materials SnO-ML are better thermoelectric materials and may be efficient for thermoelectric energy conversion.
