6. A method of forming a solid precursor on a substrate, the method comprising:
-
applying to a surface of the substrate an ink comprising a first hydrazine-free and lithium-free solution of elemental selenium in ethylene diamine mixed with a second solution comprising a gallium salt and a solvent comprising at least one of an organic amide or N-methylpyrrolidone; and subjecting the ink and the substrate to a heating regime for a time sufficient to solidify the ink on the substrate in the form of the solid precursor. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
