Abstract

We report the manufacture of fully solution processed photodetectors based on two-dimensional tin(ii) sulfide assembled via the Langmuir-Blodgett method. The method we propose can coat a variety of substrates including paper, Si/SiO₂ and flexible polymer allowing for a potentially wide range of applications in future optoelectronic devices.
