Ionic memory or electrode artefacts? A systematic assessment of nanofluidic memristors
Abstract
response became purely capacitive when platinum or glassy carbon electrodes were used in two/three-electrode configurations. The same hysteresis could also be reproduced in a bulk electrolyte without any membrane, confirming its origin due to the Ag ⇌ AgCl redox reaction and salt deposition. In contrast, nanochannel devices made by van der Waals assembly of 2D materials retained their characteristic memory loops regardless of the chosen electrode material. These results show that electrode effect can mimic fundamental memristive signatures and therefore highlight the importance of electrode control to develop reliable, energy efficient fluidic computing architectures.
