[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method of depositing diverse materials on individually addressable electrodes comprising an array, said method including the steps of:a) providing an array of individually addressable electrodes, a power source, a reference electrode and a counter electrode;b) delivering at least one source material to a predetermined location corresponding to one of said individually addressable electrodes on said array;c) depositing a predetermined composition of said at least one source material on a given electrode on said array;d) performing said steps b) and c) at a plurality of different individually addressable electrodes to produce a library of inorganic materials having different compositions at a plurality of locations on said array; ande) screening each member of said library of inorganic materials for a common selected property.
