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.

Although SnO2 has been widely used as the electron transport material (ETM) of the perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the energy level mismatch at the SnO2/CsPbBr3 buried interface is as high as 1 eV, which is disastrous for the CsPbBr3 based PSCs. Here, we introduce a buffer layer of metal sulfide (CdS, ZnS) to solve this problem. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of CsPbBr3 PSCs has been increased from 8.16% to 9.48% for ZnS‐treated SnO2 (ZnS‐SnO2), and a champion efficiency of 10.61% has been achieved in CdS treated SnO2 (CdS‐SnO2) devices. Aside from the reduced energy loss, the mobility of the SnO2 ETM has been greatly enhanced after the metal sulfide treatment. The CdS‐SnO2 devices also enjoy the benefits of reduced defect density and speeded carrier extraction, contributing to an almost 30% performance enhancement. This 10.61% PCE is among the highly efficient CsPbBr3‐based PSCs reported to date. Finally, Our CdS‐SnO2 devices survive a harsh damp heat test (120°C with a relative humidity of 50%) for a month with less than 15% efficiency loss, demonstrating the superior stability of our CsPbBr3 PSCs.This article is protected by copyright.
