Project description:Nonlinear dynamical systems serving reservoir computing enrich the physical implementation of computing systems. A method for building physical reservoirs from electrochemical reactions is provided, and the potential of chemical dynamics as computing resources is shown. The essence of signal processing in such systems includes various degrees of ionic currents which pass through the solution as well as the electrochemical current detected based on a multiway data acquisition system to achieve switchable and parallel testing. The results show that they have respective advantages in periodic signals and temporal dynamic signals. Polyoxometalate molecule in the solution increases the diversity of the response current and thus improves their abilities to predict periodic signals. Conversely, distilled water exhibits great computing power in solving a second-order nonlinear problem. It is expected that these results will lead to further exploration of ionic conductance as a nonlinear dynamical system and provide more support for novel devices as computing resources.

Project description:A physical reservoir device with tunable transient dynamics is strongly required to process time-series data with various timescales generated in the edge region. In this study, we proposed using the dielectric relaxation at an electrode-ionic liquid (IL) interface as the physical reservoir by making the most of designable physicochemical properties of ILs. The transient dynamics of a Au/IL/Au reservoir device were characterized as a function of the alkyl chain length of cations in the IL (1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide). By considering a weighted sum of exponentials expressing a superposition of Debye-type relaxations, the transient dynamics were well reconstructed. Although such complex dynamics governed by multiple relaxation processes were observed, each extracted relaxation time scales with a power law as a function of IL's viscosity determined by the alkyl chain length of cations. This indicates that the relaxation processes are characterized by bulk properties of the ILs that obey the widely received Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann law. We demonstrated that the 4-bit time-series signals were transformed into the 16 classifiable data, and the data transformation, which enables to achieve higher accuracy in an image classification task, can be easily optimized according to the features of the input signals by controlling the IL's viscosity.

Project description:This work studies the use of epoxy and polyurethane formulations as binders for the aqueous processing of activated carbon (AC) electrodes used as positive and negative electrodes in Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors (EDLCs). The use of amine and carbodiimide as crosslinkers is also evaluated. The mechanical properties of those different binders have been investigated, looking towards aqueous processable and flexible electrodes. Microstructural analysis of the fabricated AC electrodes has been carried out to understand the pore-blocking effect exhibited by certain polymers. Furthermore, electrochemical characterization of all the systems has been performed by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and constant current charge/discharge measurements at different current densities. The obtained results show that polyurethane (PU) outperforms in terms of energy and power density the carboxymethyl cellulose:styrene butadiene rubber (CMC : SBR) reference system. Moreover, the studied polyurethanes maintain close to 100 % of their initial capacitance after 2500 cycles under a current density of 5 A g-1 and a discharge time of 20 s.

Project description:Reservoir computing is a recently introduced, highly efficient bio-inspired approach for processing time dependent data. The basic scheme of reservoir computing consists of a non linear recurrent dynamical system coupled to a single input layer and a single output layer. Within these constraints many implementations are possible. Here we report an optoelectronic implementation of reservoir computing based on a recently proposed architecture consisting of a single non linear node and a delay line. Our implementation is sufficiently fast for real time information processing. We illustrate its performance on tasks of practical importance such as nonlinear channel equalization and speech recognition, and obtain results comparable to state of the art digital implementations.

Project description:An electrochemical sensory platform is presented for determination of sumatriptan (SUM) in aqueous solutions and human blood serum. A pencil graphite electrode (PGE) was electrochemically delaminated by cyclic voltammetry technique, and then further modified using nanoparticles of a zinc-based metal-organic framework (Zn(II)-MOF). The fabricated Zn(II)-MOF/EDPGE electrode was utilized for sensitive electrochemical detection of SUM via an electro-oxidation reaction. The Zn(II)-MOF was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by various techniques. The electrochemical delamination of PGE results in a porous substrate, facilitating the effective immobilization of the modifier. The designed sensor benefits from both enhanced surface area and an accelerated electron transfer rate, as evidenced by the chronocoulogram and Nyquist plots. Under optimized conditions, the developed sensor exhibited a linear response for 0.99-9.52 µM SUM solutions. A short response time of 5 s was observed for the fabricated sensor and the detection limit was found to be 0.29 μM. Selectivity of Zn(II)-MOF/EDPGE towards SUM was evaluated by examining the interference effect of codeine, epinephrine, acetaminophen, ascorbic acid, and uric acid, which are commonly found in biological samples. The developed sensor shows excellent performance with recovery values falling within the range of 96.6 to 111% for the analysis of SUM in human blood serum samples.

Project description:A sensitive electrochemical immunosensor was developed for detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) based on a three-dimensional nanostructure gold electrode using a facile, rapid, "green" square-wave oxidation-reduction cycle technique. The resulting three-dimensional gold nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. A "sandwich-type" detection strategy using an electrochemical immunosensor was employed. Under optimal conditions, a good linear relationship between the current response signal and the AFP concentrations was observed in the range of 10-50 ng/mL with a detection limit of 3 pg/mL. This new immunosensor showed a fast amperometric response and high sensitivity and selectivity. It was successfully used to determine AFP in a human serum sample with a relative standard deviation of <5% (n=5). The proposed immunosensor represents a significant step toward practical application in clinical diagnosis and monitoring of prognosis.

Project description:Many biological and biotechnological processes are controlled by protein-protein and protein-solvent interactions. In order to understand, predict, and optimize such processes, it is important to understand how solvents affect protein structure during protein-solvent interactions. In this study, all-atom molecular dynamics are used to investigate the structural dynamics and energetic properties of a C-terminal domain of the Rift Valley Fever Virus L protein solvated in glycerol and aqueous glycerol solutions in different concentrations by molecular weight. The Generalized Amber Force Field is modified by including restrained electrostatic potential atomic charges for the glycerol molecules. The peptide is considered in detail by monitoring properties like the root-mean-squared deviation, root-mean-squared fluctuation, radius of gyration, hydrodynamic radius, end-to-end distance, solvent-accessible surface area, intra-potential energy, and solvent-peptide interaction energies for hundreds of nanoseconds. Secondary structure analysis is also performed to examine the extent of conformational drift for the individual helices and sheets. We predict that the peptide helices and sheets are maintained only when the modeling strategy considers the solvent with lower glycerol concentration. We also find that the solvent-peptide becomes more cohesive with decreasing glycerol concentrations. The density and radial distribution function of glycerol solvent calculated when modeled with the modified atomic charges show a very good agreement with experimental results and other simulations at 298.15K.

Project description:There have been controversies about the binding of cations to poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) chains in aqueous solutions. In the current study, single molecular evidence of charging PEO chains by cation binding in aqueous solutions is provided. From the adoption of the photon-counting histogram method, it is discovered that the local pH value at the vicinity of the PEO chain is higher than the bulk solution, showing that the PEO chain is positively charged. Such a situation exists with and without the presence of salt (NaCl) in the solution, presumably due to the binding of cations, such as hydronium and sodium ions. Single molecular electrophoresis experiments using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy demonstrate that the PEO chains are weakly charged with a charging extent of ~5%. In comparison to the salt-free condition, the addition of external salt (NaCl) at moderate concentrations further charges the chain. The charging causes the PEO chains to expand and a further increase in the salt concentration causes the chain to shrink, exhibiting a polyelectrolyte-like behavior, demonstrated by the hydrodynamic radii of a single PEO chain. The effect of ion identity is discovered with alkali cations, with the order of the charging capacity of Li+ < Na+ < Cs+ < K+.

Project description:We investigated an insulin-sensing method by utilizing an insulin-binding aptamer IGA3, which forms an anti-parallel G-quadruplex with folded single strands. Spectroscopic observation indicates that some anti-parallel G-quadruplex bind hemin and show peroxidase activity. In this study, the peroxidase activity of IGA3 with hemin was confirmed by spectrophotometric measurements, i.e., the activity was three-times higher than hemin itself. IGA3 was then immobilized onto a gold electrode to determine its electrochemical activity. The peroxidase activity of the immobilized IGA3-hemin complex was determined by cyclic voltammetry, and a cathodic peak current of the electrode showed a dependence on the concentration of H₂O₂. The cathodic peak current of the IGA3-hemin complex decreased by binding it to insulin, and this decrease depended on the concentration of insulin.

Project description:Paired electrolysis methods are appealing for chemical synthesis because they generate valuable products at both electrodes; however, development of such reactions is complicated by the need for both half-reactions to proceed under mutually compatible conditions. Here, a modular electrochemical synthesis (ModES) strategy bypasses these constraints using a "redox reservoir" (RR) to pair electrochemical half-reactions across aqueous and nonaqueous solvents. Electrochemical oxidation reactions in organic solvents, the conversion of 4-t-butyltoluene to benzylic dimethyl acetal and aldehyde in methanol or the oxidative C-H amination of naphthalene in acetonitrile, and the reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide in water were paired using nickel hexacyanoferrate as an RR that can selectively store and release protons (and electrons) while serving as the counter electrode for these reactions. Selective proton transport through the RR is optimized and confirmed to enable the ion balance, and thus the successful pairing, between redox half-reactions that proceed with different rates, on different scales, and in different solvents (methanol, acetonitrile, and water).
