Voltage-gated optics and plasmonics enabled by solid-state proton pumping

The optical properties of certain metals can be reversibly switched by hydrogen loading but challenges remain to achieve electrical and reversible control. Here, the authors report a nanoscale proton switch that allows for electrical control of optical properties through electrochemical hydrogen gat...
