Abstract

Ionic superatomic materials that can be solution-processed into completely amorphous and homogeneous thin films are disclosed herein. The amorphous materials disclosed herein have tunable compositions and have electrical conductivities of up to 300 siemens per meter, thermal conductivities of 0.05 watt per meter per degree Kelvin, and optical transparencies of up to 92%. Application of these thin-films are also provided herein.
