Control of Catalytic Reactions at the Surface of a Metal Oxide Nanowire by Manipulating Electron Density Inside It

We show that the rates and extent of oxidation and reduction reactions taking place at the surface of a SnO2 nanowire, configured as a field-effect transistor, can be modified by changing the electron density in the wire with a gate voltage.
