12. Compensation doping is a common method used with inorganic semiconductors to create intrinsic semiconductors by compensating for the charge carriers by creating impurities. For example, see: Erwin, S. C.; Zu, L.; Haftel, M. I.; Efros, A. L.; Kennedy, T. A.; Norris, D. J. Nature 2005, 436, 91.
13. It should be noted that this approach is very different than that used in electrochromic windows and batteries, where an electrically insulating yet ion-conducting layer is required to allow the faradaic process to proceed without direct electrical contact of the two electrode materials. For example, see: Heuer, H. W.; Wehrmann, R.; Kirchmeyer, S. Adv. Funct. Mater. 2002, 12, 89.
