I prepared ZnS by precipitation method and then dip coated them on glass slides as thin films. Should I aneal the films too after dip coating?
Yes, usually, it needs annealing. But, the annealing temperature and time depend on the purpose you are seeking.
Thanks & regards

Hello Sahar,
many thanks for sharing this interesting technical question with the RG community. As already mentioned by Mithun, it depends on what properties of your ZnS films you want to achieve. In this context please have a look at the following potentially useful article in which the effects of post-annealing on dip-coated ZnS films have been studied in detail:
Post-annealing effects on ZnS thin films grown by using the CBD method
Article Post-annealing effects on ZnS thin films grown by using the CBD method
Fortunately this paper has been posted by the authors as public full text on RG. Thus you can freely download it as pdf file.
Good luck with your research work!
