Green synthesis of Co-doped zinc sulfide (ZnS) thin films, using ethanol as a source of fuel was investigated. The precursor solutions were prepared by dissolving zinc acetate (dehydrate) and cobalt acetate (tetrahydrate) in ethanol. Thiourea solution was prepared in deionized water. Glass substrates were immersed in the precursor solutions, and subjected to chemical bath deposition (CBD) setup. The resulting Co-doped ZnS thin films were characterized using the techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, and magnetic measurements. Thus green and sustainable strategy for materials synthesis has been discussed.
