Thus, this study employs magnetron co-sputtering, a technique amenable to large-scale production, to fabricate GeS₂-Sb₂S₃-AgI glassy electrolyte films, with AgI incorporation fraction modulated by sputtering power to tailor the microstructure and ion transport characteristics. Systematic characterization reveals that AgI incorporation promotes the formation of SbSI/SbI₃-like structures within the amorphous matrix, thereby triggering the reconstruction of the chalcogenide network. Adjusting the sputtering power of AgI to 8 W, the thin films exhibit a dense amorphous state and achieve an optimal room-temperature conductivity of 5.32 × 10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹. Further increase in sputtering power triggers columnar film growth, disrupting the structural continuity and causing a two-order conductivity drop.

The surface morphology exhibits various textures and particles sizes, while elemental composition analysis confirms Cu substitution within the ZnO matrix.

Additionally, the bandgap energy narrows to 2.94 eV, and photoluminescence measurements reveal an increased near band edge emission and a reduction in defect density. According to current-voltage measurements, Cu-doped ZnO films at higher Cu power with annealing treatment demonstrate twofold higher photosensitivity and threefold higher responsivity compared to pristine ZnO. In this study, increased crystallite size, reduced structural defects, and narrowed bandgap energy primarily contribute to enhanced sensitivity to visible light.
