Zusammenfassung:	•SnS nanosheets were chemical synthesized.•Ag nanoparticles modified the surface of SnS nanosheets.•photoelectic properties of SnS:Ag nanosheets were investigated. In this paper, tin monosulfide (SnS) nanosheets were prepared by one-pot method and silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) were deposited on the SnS nanosheets (NSs) through a photochemical reduction process. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and energy spectrometer (EDS), UV–Vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy were used to characterize the physical properties of the SnS:Ag NSs. Photoelectrochemical tests indicated that Ag NPs enhanced the photoelectric properties of SnS NSs and the highest photocurrent density of 14.93 μA/cm2 was achieved.
