Abstract

Semiconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu208 and La2CuO4 can be made superconducting following their oxidation in an electrochemical cell. Experimental evidence suggests that the deintercalation of copper, ie. the oxidation of the copper oxide planes is responsible. Intercalation, ie. reduction, reverses the above trends. The mechanism controlling superconductivity is therefore sensitive to the Cu/O ratio, which can be reversibly controlled at room temperature.
