Tin-selenide as a futuristic material: properties and applications

Abstract

SnSe/SnSe2 is a promising versatile material with applications in various fields like solar cells, photodetectors, memory devices, lithium and sodium-ion batteries, gas sensing, photocatalysis, supercapacitors, topological insulators, resistive switching devices due to its optimal band gap. In this review, all possible applications of SnSe/SnSe2 have been summarized. Some of the basic properties, as well as synthesis techniques have also been outlined. This review will help the researcher to understand the properties and possible applications of tin selenide-based materials. Thus, this will help in advancing the field of tin selenide-based materials for next generation technology.
