Abstract
A process of preparing a zinc chalcogenide includes providing a solution of 8-hydroxyquinoline; a zinc precursor; and a reaction solvent; isolating a precipitate from the solution; and calcining the precipitate to form the zinc chalcogenide. Additionally, a polymer composite may include a polymer, bis(8-hydroxyquinolinato)zinc, and elemental sulfur or bis(8-hydroxyquinolinato)zM, wherein M is a metal ion and the value of z is equivalent to the oxidation state of the metal ion.
