ACS Appl Mater Interfaces. 2018 Nov 14;10(45):39083-39090. doi: 10.1021/acsami.8b11362. Epub 2018 Oct 25.

Abstract

We suggest gelatin hydrogel as an electrolyte and demonstrate organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) based on a sheet of gelatin. We also modulate electrical characteristics of the OECT with respect to pH condition of the gelatin hydrogel from acid to base and analyze its characteristics based on the electrochemical theory. Moreover, we extend the gelatin-based OECT to electrochemical logic circuits, for example, NOT, NOR, and NAND gates.

Keywords: PEDOT:PSS; gelatin hydrogel; logic circuit; organic electrochemical transistor; pH modulation.
