Embodiment 1

[0060] Using tin (Sn) powder and sulfur (S) powder as the initial raw materials, weigh a total of 20g of powder according to the SnS chemical formula, put it into a stainless steel ball mill tank (volume 250mL), and add stainless steel grinding balls (grinding balls) of different diameters The weight ratio to powder is about 20:1). The ball mill tank was filled with high-purity argon as a protective gas, and dry-milled on a planetary ball mill (QM-2, Nanjing University Instrument Factory) at a speed of 450r / min for 15h. After dry grinding, absolute ethanol was added as the medium, and wet grinding was carried out at a speed of 350r / min for 90 min. The powder after wet grinding was taken out and dried, and the intermediate compound powder was formed through mechanical alloying (MA) reaction of dry grinding and wet grinding.
