Visible-light-driven photocatalytic and chemical sensing properties of SnS2 nanoflakes

- Facile large-scale of SnS2 nanoflakes were synthesized by low temperature hydrothermal process.
- SnS2 nanoflakes utilized for photocatalytic dye degradation and nitroaniline chemical sensor.
- Reasonable degradation rate of 61% under visible light irradiation towards Rhodamine B dye is shown.
- Very high-sensitivity (∼505.82±0.02 µA cm−2 mole /L−1) for the fabricated nitroaniline sensor.
