Performance of Organic Electrochemical Transistors with Ionic Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Solid Electrolytes.

ABSTRACT: Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have emerged as attractive devices for bioelectronics, wearable electronics, soft robotics, and energy storage devices. The electrolyte, being a fundamental component of OECTs, plays a crucial role in their performance. Recently, it has been demonstrated that ionic liquid crystal elastomers (iLCEs) can be used as a solid electrolyte for OECTs. Their capabilities, however, have only been shown for relatively large size substrate-free OECTs. Here, we study the influence of the different alignments of iLCEs on steady state and transient behavior of OECTs using a lateral geometry with source, drain, and gate in the same plane. We achieve excellent electrical response with an ON/OFF switching ratio of >10⁵ and minimal leakage current. The n
