Artificial Action Potential and Ionic Power Device Inspired by Ion Channels and Excitable Cell.

ABSTRACT: In vivo, the membrane potential of the excitable cell working by ion gradients plays a significant role in bioelectricity generation and nervous system operation. Conventional bioinspired power systems generally have adopted ion gradients, but overlook the functions of ion channels and Donnan effect to generate efficient ion flow in the cell. Here, cell-inspired ionic power device implementing the Donnan effect using multi-ions and monovalent ion exchange membranes as artificial ion channels is realized. Different ion-rich electrolytes on either side of the selective membrane generate the ion gradient potentials with high ionic currents and reduce the osmotic imbalance of the membrane. Based on this device, the artificial neuronal signaling is presented by the mechanical switching system o
