Abstract:
1. A method for making a material comprising, (a) providing one or more AIGS, AIS or AGS polymeric precursor compounds or inks thereof; (b) providing a substrate; (c) depositing the compounds or inks onto the substrate; and (d) heating the substrate at a temperature of from about 20 ° C. to about 650 ° C. in an inert atmosphere, thereby producing a material; wherein the polymeric precursor compound has the empirical formula Ag u (M B1 1-y M B2 y ) v ((S 1-z Se z )R) w , wherein M B1 and M B2 are different atoms of Group 13, y is from 0.001 to 0.999, z is from 0 to 1, u is from 0.5 to 1.5, v is from 0.5 to 1.5, w is from 2 to 6, and R represents R groups, of which there are w in number, which are each independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, alkenyl, amido, and silyl.
