Abstract: A method of synthesizing a precursor for making a polymer, glass, or ceramic material is provided. The method includes reacting OPCl3 with NH3 or MNH2, where M is Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Ba, or combinations thereof, to form O?P(NH2)3. The method then includes either: (i) reacting the O?P(NH2)3 with M1NH2, where M1 is Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Ba, or combinations thereof, to form the precursor; or (ii) heating the O?P(NH2)3 to form a branched or cyclomeric compound, and reacting the branched or cyclomeric compound with M1NH2, where M1 is Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Ba, or combinations thereof, to form the precursor. The precursor is an oligomer or a polymer. Uses for the precursor and the polymer, glass, or ceramic material as binders, sintering aids, adhesives, and electrolytes in battery components are also provided.
