“…Broad diffractions peaks represent the nano‐crystallinity of the films rather than the deposition of amorphous material, as reported previously by several authors . The average crystallite size in the case of ZnS deposition was 9.09 nm and is close to that observed by Man and Lee .…”

FeS, ZnS, and ZnO nanostructured thin films have been deposited by Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD), a simple and cost effective technique. These materials with different morphologies such as nano‐flakes, nanoparticles and nanorods for FeS, ZnS, and ZnO, respectively were deposited onto the glass substrates. The crystallite sizes have been estimated from Scherrer's equation and were found to be 14 nm for nano‐flakes of FeS, 9.09 nm for nanoparticles of ZnS, and 49 nm for nanorods of ZnO. The average values of the band gaps were found to be 1.97, 3.43, and 3.74 eV for FeS, ZnO, and ZnS thin films, respectively. These nanostructured semiconducting materials have wide applications in advanced optoelectronic devices.

“…The effect of different complexing agents has also been explored [32,41]. Recent reports discuss the effect of different deposition variables on structural and optical properties of ZnS thin films obtained from CBD [42][43][44][45]. Despite considerable efforts to understand the precise control of the crystal phase, degree of crystallinity, stoichiometric composition and morphology, there remains a challenge.…”

“…The optical band gap can be calculated by extrapolating the straight linear portion of the plots between (αhʋ) 2 and hʋ to the energy axis. The optical bang gap of ZnS thin film was about 3.7 eV, as shown in Figure (b), this value are reported by the literature for ZnS thin films (Zhou et al ., ).…”

In this work, the influence of substrate on the morphology of ZnS thin films by chemical bath deposition is studied. The materials used were zinc acetate, tri-sodium citrate, thiourea, and ammonium hydroxide/ammonium chloride solution. The growth of ZnS thin films on different substrates showed a large variation on the surface, presenting a poor growth on SiO2 and HfO2 substrates. The thin films on ITO substrate presented a uniform and compact growth without pinholes. The optical properties showed a transmittance of about 85% in the visible range of 300-800 nm with band gap of 3.7 eV.
