Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a range of combination of rsquare operator approximately 30 Omega to 1 M Omega and T% (500 nm) approximately 1 to 65 and a color of reflected daylight (golden yellow, purple, blue, green, etc.) can be obtained from chemical baths constituted from copper(II) chloride, triethanolamine and thiourea at appropriate pH.
Abstract: CuxS thin films with a wide range of sheet resistances (rSquare Operator ) and optical transmittance (T%), indicating different composition x, have been obtained from chemical baths constituted from copper(II) chloride, triethanolamine and thiourea at appropriate pH (10-12). Depending on the deposition parameters, a range of combination of rSquare Operator approximately=30 Omega to 1 M Omega and T% (500 nm) approximately=1 to 65 and a range of colour of reflected daylight (golden yellow, purple, blue, green, etc.) can be obtained. The films have been found to be stable with respect to electrical and optical properties on storage under ambient. Various possible large area applications such as in architectural glazing, photothermal and photovoltaic conversions are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the possibilities of producing large area coatings with very low capital investment is an inherent attraction of chemical bath deposition technique, which makes the chemically deposited metal chalcogenide films as a low-capital alternative to the commercially available magnetron sputtered metallic coatings in the production of solar control glazings.
Abstract: Chemically deposited PbS, CuxS and PbS-CuxS thin films possess a range of solar control characteristics suitable for architectural window glazing applications in locations with a generally warm climate or subjected to extreme climates. The possibilities of producing large area coatings with very low capital investment is an inherent attraction of chemical bath deposition technique. This aspect makes the chemically deposited metal chalcogenide films as a low-capital alternative to the commercially available magnetron sputtered metallic coatings in the production of solar control glazings.
