Abstract:
An electrically conductive inorganic polymer containing at least one metala) selected from the group consisting of copper, an alkali metal and an alkaline earth metal, and at least one metal b) selected from the group consisting of a metal of the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th subgroup and the 3rd, 4th and 5th main group of the periodic system, starting with atom number 31, obtained bymixing, if metal a) is copper, in a preliminary stage, copper carbonate with an oxide of at least one metal b) to form a slurry with the addition of water and evaporating the water contained in the slurry by heating, by fusing under heat in a melt, in a first main stage, a carbonate of at least one metal a) except copper, or the copper-containing material obtained in the first step, with an oxide of at least one metal b) and allowing the resulting melt to cool down, by fusing under heat, in a second main stage, the material obtained in the first main stage with at least one further oxide of at least one metal b), and byreducing, in a third main stage, the intermediate polymer obtained in the second main stage.
