Wurtzite‐phase ZnS nanodot films with controllable dot density can be prepared at low temperature by a technique known as Spray‐ILGAR (ILGAR = ion‐layer gas reaction), without organic surfactant. ZnS nanodots covered with homogenous In 2 S 3 (as the point‐contact bridge) act as a defect passivation layer and form a structured buffer layer. This ZnS/In 2 S 3 buffer improves cell efficiencies by up to about 1%–1.5% compared to reference cells with a pure ILGAR In 2 S 3 buffer.
