In a recent study featured in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, researchers have showcased the promising potential of 2D tin sulfide (SnS₂) multilayer nanosheets within photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems. More specifically, they have demonstrated the capability of these solution-processed photoanodes to effectively absorb and convert visible light into chemical energy. Consequently, these findings establish them as compelling materials for enhancing various PEC applications, notably including solar fuel and hydrogen production.
