Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The electronic structure of nanowires, nanotubes and thin films deposited on a substrate is varied by doping with electrons or holes. The electronic structure can then be tuned by varying the support material or by applying a gate voltage. The electronic structure can be controlled to absorb a gas, store a gas, or release a gas, such as hydrogen, oxygen, ammonia, carbon dioxide, and the like.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

I claim: 1. A method for storing and releasing a gas comprising: providing a device comprising: a support deposited on a gate wherein the support is in electrical communication with the gate; a material deposited on the support, wherein the support is in electrical communication with the material and wherein the material is separated from the gate by the support; and a power supply comprising the gate in electrical communication with the support and the material, wherein the…
