i have synthesized SnS nanoparticles by changing tin chloride precursor concentration

sulphur source- thioacetamide

TEA as stabliser

Prasad G. Mahajan

Dear Chetan

yes offcourse there were many reasons for the changes in morphology of nanoparticles. I have attached a paper for your consideration

Stefanos Mourdikoudis

You can also check the papers which i refer to below, where a low precursor concentration (for the case of Pt) was associated with the production of compact shapes, while a high precursor concentration resulted in more porous structures.
