With the miniaturization of electronic devices, it is essential to achieve higher carrier density and lower operation voltage in field-effect transistors (FETs). However, this is a great challenge in conventional FETs owing to the low capacitance and electric breakdown of gate dielectrics. Recently, electric double-layer technology with ultra-high charge-carrier accumulation at the semiconductor channel/electrolyte interface has been creatively introduced into transistors to overcome this problem. Some interesting electrical transport characteristics such as superconductivity, metal-insulator transition, and tunable thermoelectric behavior have been modulated both theoretically and experimentally in electric double-layer transistors (EDLTs) with various semiconductor channel layers and electrolyte materials. The present article is a review of the recent progress in the EDLTs and the impacts of EDLT technology on modulating the charge transportation of various electronics.

“…Within the broader ionic transistor class of devices, there have been several reports of protonic transistors, [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] including two notable examples from the Rolandi group. 13,14 For these devices, the application of a voltage to the gate modulates the current flow between the source and the drain, in analogy to conventional unipolar field effect transistors.…”

Ionic transistors from organic and biological materials hold great promise for bioelectronics applications. Thus, much research effort has focused on optimizing the performance of these devices. Herein, we experimentally validate a straightforward strategy for enhancing the high to low current ratios of protein-based protonic transistors. Upon reducing the thickness of the transistors’ active layers, we increase their high to low current ratios 2-fold while leaving the other figures of merit unchanged. The measured ratio of 3.3 is comparable to the best values found for analogous devices. These findings underscore the importance of the active layer geometry for optimum protonic transistor functionality.

“…In contrast, the development of computing has mainly focused on devices that control electronic currents such as vacuum tubes, solid-state fieldeffect transistors (FET), and nanoscale molecular structures [8][9][10][11] . Few examples of protonic-based devices exist, and include an ice FET working with AC current 12 , and a water bipolar junction transistor 13 . At the nanoscale, ionic (and protonic) conductivity has attracted increasing interest with the advent of resistive ionic memories 14 , memristors 15,16 , synaptic transistors 17 , and nanofluidics [18][19][20] .…”

In nature, electrical signalling occurs with ions and protons, rather than electrons. Artificial devices that can control and monitor ionic and protonic currents are thus an ideal means for interfacing with biological systems. Here we report the first demonstration of a biopolymer protonic field-effect transistor with proton-transparent PdH x contacts. In maleic-chitosan nanofibres, the flow of protonic current is turned on or off by an electrostatic potential applied to a gate electrode. The protons move along the hydrated maleic-chitosan hydrogen-bond network with a mobility of ~4. . This study introduces a new class of biocompatible solid-state devices, which can control and monitor the flow of protonic current. This represents a step towards bionanoprotonics.
