Abstract
Tin selenide (SnSe) are the materials consisting nontoxic and economical earth-abundant elements. SnSe was synthesized by high-energy ball milling technique. The pure phase, orthorhombic phase was obtained at 300 RPM for 18H which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The average crystalline size was estimated ~ 10 nm. Surface morphology was carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The distribution of non-uniform particle size from few nanometers to micrometer range.
