Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: forming a mixed ionic-electronic conduction (MIEC) layer directly on a carbon doped silicon germanium substrate, the MIEC layer comprising three individual layers of molybdenum disulfide stacked one on top of another, wherein each layer of molybdenum disulfide comprises two hexagonal planes of sulfur atoms separated by one hexagonal plane of molybdenum atoms; doping the MIEC layer with interstitial chromium atoms using an ion implantation technique to achieve a concentration of approximately 8%; patterning the doped MIEC layer into multiple ribbons each having an approximate width of 1 nm; forming a first titanium electrode at a first end of the ribbons, a bottom surface of the first titanium electrode is in direct contact with a top surface of the MIEC layer; and forming a second titanium electrode at a second end of the ribbons such that current flows horizontally from the first titanium electrode to the second titanium electrode and through the MIEC layer, a bottom surface of the second titanium electrode is in direct contact with a top surface of the MIEC layer.
