Ni loaded SnS₂ hexagonal nanosheets for photocatalytic hydrogen generation via water splitting.

ABSTRACT: Herein we have prepared the Ni-decorated SnS₂ nanosheets with varying concentrations of Ni from 1 to 10 mol% (1, 2.5, 5, and 10 mol%) and studied their various physicochemical and photocatalytic properties. The chemical reduction technique was utilized to load the Ni nanoparticles on SnS₂ nanosheets. The synthesized Ni decorated SnS₂ (denoted as Ni-SnS₂) was characterized using different spectroscopic techniques such as X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance UV-vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and field emission transmission electron microscopy (FETEM). XRD revealed the formation of the highly crystalline hexagonal phase of SnS₂ but for nickel loading there is no additional pe
