Ionogels: materials design, properties, and emerging applications in advanced electrochemical and bioelectronic systems

Figure 7. Symmetry engineering in OXene enables reconfigurable “0” and “1” logic interfaces as SDG layers in flexible transistor arrays. (A) An exploded schematic view of the 5 × 5 transistor array with OXene/MXene SDG layer. The constituent components include flexible Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, 1:10) substrates, OXene or MXene traces serve as transistor interconnects, with poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) nanofibrils-PDMS (labeled as P3HT NFs-PDMS) as the semiconductor, and ionogel as the flexible dielectric layer. (i) Schematic exploded view of the architecture of a transistor node; (ii) The circuit diagram for a single sensory transistor in the active matrix; (B) Optical image of transistor array under various mechanical deformations; (C) Representative transfer characteristics of the OXene/MXene transistors with a p-type P3HT NFs-PDMS semiconductor layer. The gate current, which ranged around 10-10 ~ 10-11 A, is omitted. Distinct OXene curves are attributed to different oxygen plasma treatment periods (30 cc min-1, power 200W 40 KHz, ranging from 10 s to 120 s); (D) Switching current ratios (Ion/Ioff) of OXene transistors under various oxygen treatment periods, in comparison to MXene transistors without oxygen treatment; (E) Transfer characteristics of one pressure-sensitive pixel in the active matrix with OXene or MXene SDG layer. (A-E) are reproduced as cropped excerpts from ref.[187], under the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license; the depicted content of the individual panels was not altered. SDG: Source-drain-gate layer; PDMS: polydimethylsiloxane; VBL: bit line voltage; VWL: word line voltage; IDS: drain-source current; VDS: drain-source voltage; VGS: gate-source voltage; NF: nanofibril.
