论文摘要
本文介绍了通过双极聚电解质二极管制成的多个离子逻辑门的小规模整合来实现片上离子电路。这些离子电路类似于固态电子电路，带有离子作为电荷载体而不是电子/孔。我们通过实验表征由相对电荷的聚电解质（即阴离子和阳离子交换膜）制成的单个流体二极管的响应，其基础机制与固态P和N型连接相似。这是通过集成基于多二极管的逻辑门来执行各种架构中预设的逻辑计算的，其中集成门之间的电信号完全通过离子传输。这些发现阐明了影响可以集成的逻辑门数量的局限性，电信号的退化，其瞬态响应以及可以改善离子电路性能性能的设计规则。
This article presents the implementation of on-chip iontronic circuits via small-scale integration of multiple ionic logic gates made of bi-polar 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 pre-designed 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 light on the limitations affecting the number of logic gates that can be integrated, the degradation of the electrical signal, their transient response, and the design rules that can improve the performance of iontronic circuits.
