Ultralarge single crystal SnS rectangular nanosheets

Uniform ultralarge single crystal SnS rectangular nanosheets (7000 nm X 3000 nm X 20 nm) have been synthesized by thermodecomposing a single-source precursor (Sn-diethyl-dithiocarbamate-1,10-phenanthroline). The obtained SnS nanosheets exhibit excellent electrochemical properties which have promising applications in lithium ion batteries.
