Abstract	SnS$_{2}$ nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using a modified hot injection method, and the morphological, structural, optical properties and chemical composition of the SnS$_{2}$ NPs were characterized using a range of analysis techniques. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed distorted-hexagonal shape and particle size of the assynthesized nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the SnS$_{2}$ NPs had high crystallinity with hexagonal structure. Ultravioletvisible (UV-vis) absorption spectrum revealed an absorption band at 440nm due to SnS$_{2}$ nanoparticles. Solar cell devices based on the blending of a conjugated polymer as a donor material and SnS$_{2}$ (NPs) as an acceptor material were fabricated, and the device performance was tested. The solar cell efficiency was improved by optimizing the thickness of active layer containing the well-controlled SnS$_{2}$ NPs, and increasing the light harvesting using a low band gap polymer. The results indicate that the SnS$_{2}$ NPs can be good candidate materials for bulk hetero-junction (BHJ) solar cells.
