<p>A selenium ink comprising, as initial components: a liquid carrier; a selenium component comprising selenium; and, an organic chalcogenide component having a formula selected from RZ-Z'R' and R 2 -SH, a Group 1b component and a liquid carrier; wherein Z and Z' are each independently selected from sulfur, selenium and tellurium; wherein R is selected from H, C 1-20 alkyl group, a C 6-20 aryl group, a C 1-20 alkylhydroxy group, an arylether group and an alkylether group; wherein R' and R 2 are selected from a C 1-20 alkyl group, a C 6-20 aryl group, a C 1-20 alkylhydroxy group, an arylether group and an alkylether group; wherein the selenium ink comprises ‰¥ 1 wt% selenium; wherein the selenium ink is a stable dispersion and wherein the selenium ink is hydrazine and hydrazinium free. Also provided are methods of preparing the selenium ink and of using the selenium ink to deposit selenium on a substrate for use in the manufacture of a variety of chalcogenide containing semiconductor materials, such as, thin film transistors (TFTs), light emitting diodes (LEDs); and photoresponsive devices (e.g., electrophotography (e.g., laser printers and copiers), rectifiers, photographic exposure meters and photovoltaic cells) and chalcogenide containing phase change memory materials.</p> |
