However, the growth of monolayer tin disulfide(SnS2) remains a great challenge contrasted to transition metal dichalcogenides, which have been studied quite maturely. Till date, there have been scant reports on the growth of large-scale and large-size monolayer SnS2. Here, we successfully synthesized monolayer SnS2 crystal on SiO2/Si substrates via NaCl-assisted CVD and the edge can be as long as 80 μm. Optical microscope, Raman spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy(AFM), and energydispersion x-ray(EDX) were performed respectively to investigate the morphology, crystallographic structure, and optical property of the 2 D SnS2 nanosheets. In addition, we discussed the growing mechanism of the NaCl-assisted CVD method.展开更多
