A composition for forming a crystal layer, the composition comprising: a. a first metal particle; and b. selected from the group consisting of a metal oxide particle, an organometallic complex, a second metal particle, and A metal component of a combination thereof, wherein the second metal particle has a greater oxygen affinity than the first particle. A seed layer as defined, and a coating comprising a layer of crystal and the use of such a layer. In addition, the present invention relates to a method of forming a crystal layer, comprising: applying a first metal particle, and one selected from the group consisting of a metal oxide particle, an organic metal complex, a second metal particle, and the like. The composition of the components of the combination is applied to the surface of a substrate, and the composition is shaped, wherein the second metal particles have a greater oxygen affinity than the first metal particles. |
