Designing with Iontronic Logic Gates─From a Single Polyelectrolyte Diode to an Integrated Ionic Circuit.

ABSTRACT: This article presents the implementation of on-chip iontronic circuits via small-scale integration of multiple ionic logic gates made of bipolar polyelectrolyte diodes. These ionic circuits are analogous to solid-state electronic circuits, with ions as the charge carriers instead of electrons/holes. We experimentally characterize the responses of a single fluidic diode made of a junction of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes (i.e., anion and cation exchange membranes), with a similar underlying mechanism as a solid-state p- and n-type junction. This served to carry out predesigned logical computations in various architectures by integrating multiple diode-based logic gates, where the electrical signal between the integrated gates was transmitted entirely through ions. The findings shed li
