Abstract
Devices and methods are provided for generating gas(es). A device includes a first layer having a conductive region and an electrode, a sealing layer adjacent the first layer and having a conductive region and a multi-electrode assembly including an ionic layer with a cathode side and an opposed anode side, and a second layer adjacent the sealing layer and having a conductive region and an electrode operably associated with an isolated electrical connector, wherein the device is configured to generate the gas(es) upon application of a voltage to the electrical connector and to the conductive regions of the layers.
