Tin telluride is a narrow gap semiconductor with promising properties for IR optical applications and topological insulators. We report a convenient colloidal synthesis of quasi-two-dimensional SnTe nanocrystals through the hot-injection method in a non-polar solvent. By introducing the halide alkane 1-bromotetradecane as well as oleic acid and trioctylphosphine, the thickness of two dimensional SnTe nanostripes can be tuned down to 30 nm, while the lateral dimensional can reach 6 microns. The obtained SnTe nanostripes are single-crystalline with a rock-salt crystal structure. The absorption spectra demonstrate pronounced absorption features in the IR range revealing the effect of quantum confinement in such structures.
