Tin(II)sulfide nanosheets with lateral sizes in the range of several micrometers and thicknesses of only tens of nanometers are synthesized by injection of S-oleylamine into a hot solution of oleylamine, oleic acid, HMDS and tin chloride. We will present structural data to follow the nanosheets growth and show how additional octadecene can influence the lateral growth direction to form either rectangular or hexagonal nanosheets.

In the second part we focus on the electrical properties of individual hexagonal SnS-nanosheets. Here we present data from combined Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM) with simultaneous Scanning Photocurrent Measurements (SPCM) to attribute the electro-optical properties to mutual interaction between locally generated charge carriers and electric potentials. For example the occurrence of zero-bias photocurrent can directly be attributed to changes of the band bending due to the optically generated charge carriers.
