Patent ID: 7794865

Claim:
A filter material for generating/removing oxygen and/or hydrogen gas from a source comprising: a porous boron doped carbon film comprising diruthenium/diruthenium molecules and at least one electronegative ion/compound that produces an electronegative ion selected from the group consisting of perfluoroalkyl-alkoxy silanes, trifluoropropyl-trimethoxysilane (TFPTMOS) fluorine compounds having at least one carbon-metal bond per molecule, —CF 3 moieties, —OCF 3 moieties, —SF 5 moieties, BF 3 , nitrogen, and boron, said diruthenium/ruthenium molecules and said electronegative ion/compound are positioned in direct contact with said porous boron doped carbon film whereby oxygen and/or hydrogen gas is generated from a source as it passes across said filter material.
