I tried SnTe2 to exfoliate with scotch tape, but it's not peeling off into layers. How can I exfoliate the materials using another mechanical/chemical method?
Dear Pinki .. I think that an important prerequisite for this method is that you have good and large enough single-crystals of your SnTe2 material. For some potentially useful information about growing suitable single-crystals of tin ditelluride please have a look at the following article:

This paper has been posted by the authors as public full text on RG (please see attached pdf file). For more general information about the exfoliation technique using scotch tape please also see e.g. the following relevant literature references:

I hope this helps. Good luck with your research and please stay safe and healthy!
