“…Some of the films prepared by some of the processes have issues from heat loss and/or loss of optical transmittance, in addition to production method issues that may prevent large-area processing and inexpensive fabrication costs [ 41 ]. Among these techniques, the CBD method for synthesizing ZnS thin film is preferable due to its low cost, simple, low-energy consumption, ease of adjusting its parameters, and economically repeatable method that can be employed for low-temperature large-area deposition [ 1 , 18 , 39 , 42 , 43 , 44 ]. Low-temperature deposition protects metallic substrates against oxidation [ 45 ] and is conceivable on a variety of substrates [ 40 ].…”

Zinc sulfide (ZnS) thin films prepared using the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method have demonstrated great viability in various uses, encompassing photonics, field emission devices, field emitters, sensors, electroluminescence devices, optoelectronic devices, and are crucial as buffer layers of solar cells. These semiconducting thin films for industrial and research applications are popular among researchers. CBD appears attractive due to its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, low energy consumption, low-temperature compatibility, and superior uniformity for large-area deposition. However, numerous parameters influence the CBD mechanism and the quality of the thin films. This study offers a comprehensive review of the impact of various parameters that can affect different properties of ZnS films grown on CBD. This paper provides an extensive review of the film growth and structural and optical properties of ZnS thin films influenced by various parameters, which include complexing agents, the concentration ratio of the reactants, stirring speed, humidity, deposition temperature, deposition time, pH value, precursor types, and annealing temperature environments. Various studies screened the key influences on the CBD parameters concerning the quality of the resulting films. This work will motivate researchers to provide additional insight into the preparation of ZnS thin films using CBD to optimize this deposition method to its fullest potential.

Nano thin film materials play an indispensable role in modern electronics and other field of material sciences especially in a photovoltaic technology. The scope of this research is to grow Zinc Sulphide (ZnS) thin film and characterize structurally to understand the benefits of the study choosing chemical deposition method (The aerosol spray pyrolysis), the chemical combination analysis and the annealing temperature. Specifically on the film strength and its applications. In the light of this work, Nano crystalline ZnS thin films was grown by carefully dissolving 1.48g of Zinc Acetate (Zn(CH3CO2)2) in 15ml of a distilled water (H2O), Followed by the deposition of 50, 5, and 30ml of acetone (CH3COCH3), acetic acid (CH3COOH) and ethanol (C2H6O) to the solution respectively, all in molar concentration of 0.1 M per ml. The solution was allowed to spray for 10 minutes on a soda lime glass substrate (SLG) at 300oC. The process was repeated for the sample annealed at 300oC and 400oC under Nitrogen gas (N2) environment for 60 minutes. The X-ray diffraction pattern of all the films deposited shows a cubic crystal type with mean crystallite size in the range 0.35nm as deposited, 0.4179 nm and 0.44nm at 300oC and 400oC annealing temperature respectively. Patterns of the sprayed film after performing the phase analysis reveal peaks corresponding to the (111) planes of reflection, which indicate the suitability of the deposition process and chemical combination. Furthermore, it is also concluded that the strength of the material depends on the annealing and substrate temperature.
