Abstract Cd1– x Zn x S thin films were deposited by chemical bath deposition (CBD) on the glass substrate to study the influence of cadmium sulfate concentration on the structural characteristics of the thin film. The SEM results show that the thin film surfaces under the cadmium sulfate concentration of 0.005 M exhibit better compactness and uniformity. The distribution diagrams of thin film elements illustrate the film growth rate changes on the trend of the increase, decrease, and increase with the increase of cadmium sulfate concentration. XRD studies exhibit the crystal structure of the film is the hexagonal phase, and there are obvious diffraction peaks and better crystallinity when the concentration is 0.005 M. Spectrophotometer test results demonstrate that the relationship between zinc content x and optical band gap value E g can be expressed by the equation E g(x) = 0.59x 2 + 0.69x + 2.43. Increasing the zinc content can increase the optical band gap, and the absorbance of the thin film can be improved by decreasing the cadmium sulfate concentration, however, all of them have good transmittance. At a concentration of 0.005 M, the thin film has good absorbance in the 300–800 nm range, 80% transmittance, and band gap value of 3.24 eV, which is suitable for use as a buffer layer for solar cells.

AbstractAg2S thin films of 90 nm to 300 nm in thickness were deposited at 70°C on glass substrates immersed in a bath mixture containing silver nitrate, sodium thiosulfate and dimethylthiourea. When the films are heated in nitrogen at temperatures 200°C to 400°C, crystallinity is improved and XRD pattern similar to that of acanthite is observed. These films possess electrical conductivity of 10-3 (ohm cm)-1, are photoconductive and exhibit an optical band gap of 1.36 eV. When Ag2S thin film is deposited over a thin film of Bi2S3, also obtained by chemical bath deposition from bismuth nitrate, triethanolamine and thioacetamide, and heated at 300°C to 400°C in nitrogen, a ternary compound, AgBiS2 is formed. This material has an electrical conductivity of 5x10-5 (ohm cm)-1, is photoconductive and possesses optical band gap 0.95 eV.

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films are prepared by sulfurizing the precursors deposited by vacuum evaporation methods. The samples sulfurized at 500°C for 3h shows the strong (112) diffraction peak at 28.45˚, suggesting the successful synthesis of CZTS thin films. The X-ray diffraction shows that CZTS thin film prepared in Sn-poor condition have the best crystallinity. The Sn-dependent crystallite size was calculated to be 19.53-21.03 nm. In addition, we found that the optical band gap with various Sn contents can be modulated at 1.48-1.85 eV
