Title: Materials for stabilizing semiconductors and methods of making the same

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a device that includes a first layer having an active material and a stabilizing material, where the active material includes a semiconductor, the stabilizing material includes at least one of an oligomer, an elastomer, a polymer, and/or a resin, and the stabilizing material provides to the device an improved performance metric compared to a device constructed of the first layer but constructed of only the active material (i.e., in the absence of the stabilizing material).
