A method of controlling macroscopic strain of a porous structure includes contacting a porous structure with a modifying agent which chemically adsorbs to a surface of the porous structure and modifies an existing surface stress of the porous structure. Additional methods and systems are also presented.

Actuation via surface chemistry induced surface stress

A method of controlling macroscopic strain of a porous structure includes contacting a porous structure with a modifying agent which chemically adsorbs to a surface of the porous structure and modifies an existing surface stress of the porous structure. A device in one embodiment includes a porous metal structure, which when contacted with a modifying agent which chemically adsorbs to a surface of the porous metal structure, exhibits a volumetric change due to modification of an existing surface stress of the porous metal structure; and a mechanism for detecting the volumetric change. Additional methods and systems are also presented.

In a method of reversably storing hydrogen in a hydrogen reservoir including a hydrogen storage material disposed between an electrode and a counter electrode, the hydrogen storage material is charged with hydrogen and the hydrogen is recuperated from the hydrogen storage material by applying between the electrodes a voltage differential to generate a current flow across the electrolyte which is adjustable for controlling the rate of release of the hydrogen from the hydrogen storage material.
