SnS₂ nanostructures were prepared via a hydrothermal route, while NiO nanostructures were synthesized through a coprecipitation method. The samples are characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) absorption spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy to investigate the structural phase, functional group, band gap, and electronic defect level respectively. The thin films of SnS₂, NiO, and SnS₂/NiO exhibited broadband optical absorption and high transmittance in the visible region, confirming their transparent nature. The photodetector devices were fabricated via sequential layer-by-layer deposition of materials through spin coating onto patterned fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)-coated glass substrates, followed by thermal evaporation of top Al electrodes. The photodetection performance of the three devices was evaluated under UV–Vis–near-infrared (NIR) illumination ranging from 310 nm to 1064 nm. The heterostructure device (<i>S</i>₃) outperformed both individual devices across all figures of merit.
