Enhanced visible light absorption performance of SnS₂ and SnSe₂ via surface charge transfer doping.

ABSTRACT: The layered two-dimensional (2D) SnS₂ and SnSe₂ have received intensive attention due to their sizable band gaps and potential properties. However, it has been shown that the visible light absorption of SnS₂ and SnSe₂ are restricted as photocatalysts and light-harvesting material absorbers for water splitting and high-performance optoelectronic devices. Herein, to enhance the visible light absorption performance of SnS₂ and SnSe₂, we performed a systematic investigation on tuning the electronic and optical properties of monolayers SnS₂ and SnSe₂ via surface charge transfer doping (SCTD) with the adsorption of molybdenum trioxide (MoO₃) and potassium (K) as surface dopants based on dens
