Patent number: 11118078Abstract: Low temperature processes for converting mixtures of metal inks into alloys. The alloys can be dealloyed by etching. A method comprising: depositing at least one precursor composition on at least one substrate to form at least one deposited structure, wherein the precursor composition comprises at least two metal complexes, including at least one first metal complex comprising at least one first metal and at least one second metal complex different from the first metal complex and comprising at least one second metal different from the first metal, treating the deposited structure so that the first metal and the second metal become elemental forms of the first metal and the second metal in a treated structure. Further, one can remove at least some of the first metal to leave a nanoporous material comprising at least the second metal. Precursor compositions can be formulated to be homogeneous compositions.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2020Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Liquid X Printed Metals, Inc.Inventors: Richard D McCullough, John Belot, Rebecca Potash

Publication number: 20130236656Abstract: Metal complexes adapted to form metallic conductive films upon deposition and treatment. The complexes can have a high concentration of metal and can be soluble in polar protic solvent including ethanol and water. The metal complex can be a covalent complex and can comprise a first and second ligand. Low temperature treatment can be used to convert the complex to a metal. The metallic conductive film can have low resistivity and work function close to pure metal. Coinage metals can be used (e.g., Ag). The ligands can be dative bonding ligands including amines and carboxylate ligands. The ligands can be adapted to volatilize well. High yields of metal can be achieve with high conductivity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2013Publication date: September 12, 2013Applicant: Liquid X Printed Metals, Inc.Inventors: Richard D.
