ABSTRACT = {Zinc sulfide thin films were prepared using the economical spray pyrolysis process. A thin 
film of exceptional quality with a temperature difference of 300 °C to 400 °C is produced 
by optimizing variables such as concentration, flow rate, and nozzle to substrate distance. 
These films' optical characteristics and structure were examined. The deposited thin films 
displayed a direct and allowed transition, as indicated by the optical transmittance spectra. 
XRD analysis confirmed that the deposited thin films were polycrystalline with a cubic 
phase. This film can be used in solar cell applications since the band gap energy fluctuation 
is high enough, ranging from 3.42 to 3.81 eV. },
