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.

Chalcogenide thin films have attracted a great deal of attention for decades because of their unique properties. The recent developments on thin film-based supercapacitor applications were reported. As a result of sustained efforts, the experimental findings revealed remarkable properties with enhanced fabrication methods. The properties of perovskite solar cells were discussed in terms of crystal structure and phase transition, electronic structure, optical properties, and electrical properties. Perovskite solar cell has gained attention due to its high absorption coefficient with a sharp absorption edge, high photoluminescence quantum yield, long charge carrier diffusion lengths, large mobility, high defect tolerance, and low surface recombination velocity. The thin film-based gas sensors are used for equally the identification and quantification of gases, and hence should be both selective and sensitive to a required target gas in a mixture of gases. Metal chalcogenide materials are considered excellent absorber materials in photovoltaic cell applications. These materials exhibited excellent absorption coefficient and suitable band gap value to absorb the maximum number of photons from sun radiation. The photovoltaic parameters were strongly dependent on various experimental conditions.
