Abstract
Electrolyte-gated transistors (EGTs) are promising candidates as artificial synapses owing to their precise conductance controllability, quick response times, and especially their low operating voltages resulting from ion-assisted signal transmission. However, it is still vague how ion-related physiochemical elements and working mechanisms impact synaptic performance. Here, to address the unclear correlations, we suggest a methodical approach based on electrochemical analysis using poly(ethylene oxide) EGTs with three alkali ions: Li+, Na+, and K+. Cyclic voltammetry is employed to identify the kind of electrochemical reactions taking place at the channel/electrolyte interface, which determines the nonvolatile memory functionality of the EGTs. Additionally, using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and qualitative analysis of electrolytes, we confirm that the intrinsic properties of electrolytes (such as crystallinity, solubility, and ion conductivity) and ion dynamics ultimately define the linearity/symmetricity of conductance modulation. Through simple but systematic electrochemical analysis, these results offer useful insights for the selection of components for high-performing artificial synapses.

Investigating the Performance of a Zinc Oxide Impregnated Polyvinyl Alcohol-Based Low-Cost Cation Exchange Membrane in Microbial Fuel Cells. MEMBRANES 2023; 13:55. [PMID: 36676862 PMCID: PMC9861394 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13010055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The current study investigated the development and application of lithium (Li)-doped zinc oxide (ZnO)-impregnated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) proton exchange membrane separator in a single chambered microbial fuel cell (MFC). Physiochemical analysis was performed via FT-IR, XRD, TEM, and AC impedance analysis to characterize thus synthesized Li-doped ZnO. PVA-ZnO-Li with 2.0% Li incorporation showed higher power generation in MFC. Using coulombic efficiency and current density, the impact of oxygen crossing on the membrane cathode assembly (MCA) area was evaluated. Different amounts of Li were incorporated into the membrane to optimize its electrochemical behavior and to increase proton conductivity while reducing biofouling. When acetate wastewater was treated in MFC using a PVA-ZnO-Li-based MCA, the maximum power density of 6.3 W/m3 was achieved. These observations strongly support our hypothesis that PVA-ZnO-Li can be an efficient and affordable separator for MFC.

Abstract
The evolution of various point defects in 100 keV lithium (Li) ion-implanted ZnO nanorods (NRs) by varying the fluences from 1 × 1014 to 7 × 1015 ions per cm2 has been investigated experimentally and using a simulation by stopping and range of ions in matter (SRIM). The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicate that the Li1+ ions have been incorporated at Zn2+ sites, which forms LiZn acceptors in the implanted NRs. The structural disorder and the number of oxygen vacancies in the implanted ZnO NRs increase drastically with an increase in the Li fluence as indicated by the X-ray diffractometry and Raman scattering analyses. Both the formation of acceptors and implantation-induced defects make the Li-implanted NRs electrically highly resistive. The yellow-orange photoluminescence (PL) emission of the as-grown ZnO NRs has evolved into green emission in the implanted NRs. A suppression of the green PL at higher fluences is possibly due to an apparent decrease in the zinc vacancy concentration. The SRIM results explain the quantitative energy loss, the distributions of the implanted Li ions and the point defects along the target ZnO NRs. The consistency between the experimental and theoretical simulations validates our analyses on the formation and evolution of various point defects in highly resistive Li-implanted ZnO NRs.
