Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention pertains to an electrode that includes a metal oxide layer, and a conductive layer on that metal oxide layer. The metal oxide layer is an alkali metal oxide or an alkaline earth metal oxide that is formed by: (1) decomposing a compound that includes (a) oxygen and (b) an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, or (2) thermally reacting at least two compounds where one of the at least two compounds includes the alkali metal or the alkaline earth metal, and another one of the at least two compounds includes oxygen. The metal oxide layer can also be formed by thermally reacting at least two compounds where one of those compounds includes (a) oxygen and (b) an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal.

- (1) decomposing a compound that includes (a) oxygen and (b) an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, or (2) thermally reacting at least two compounds where one of said at least two compounds includes said alkali metal or said alkaline earth metal, and another one of said at least two compounds includes said oxygen.
An electrode, comprising:
- a metal oxide layer;
- and
- a conductive layer on said metal oxide layer,
- wherein said metal oxide layer is an alkali metal oxide or an alkaline earth metal oxide that is formed by thermally reacting at least two compounds where one of said at least two compounds includes (1) oxygen and (2) an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a first electrode on said substrate;
- at least one semiconductive layer on said first electrode;
- and
- a second electrode on said at least one semiconductive layer,
- wherein a particular one of said first electrode or said second electrode includes
- a metal oxide layer;
- and
- a conductive layer on said metal oxide layer,
- wherein said metal oxide layer is an alkali metal oxide or an alkaline earth metal oxide that is formed by:
- (1) decomposing a compound that includes (a) oxygen and (b) an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, or (2) thermally reacting at least two compounds where a first one of said at least two compounds includes said alkali metal or said alkaline earth metal, and a second one of said at least two compounds includes said oxygen, or (3) thermally reacting at least two compounds where a particular one of said at least two compounds includes (1) oxygen and (2) an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal.
