“…21 A significant step was development of a facile, low-temperature chemical bath deposition (CBD) approach, yielding ZnS:Cu y S composites with conductivities on the order of 10 3 S cm À1 , albeit with drops in transparency. 22 Subsequently, this compound has been synthesized via various chemical and physical methods, e.g., sol gel, 23 spray pyrolysis, 24,25 atomic layer deposition (ALD), 26,27 and sputtering, 28,29 among others (see Table S1). We emphasize that remarkable properties and crystalline films have been achieved even at low deposition temperatures; this is particularly advantageous to applications in optoelectronic devices with low thermal budgets, such as CdTe and perovskite photovoltaics (PV).…”
