Toward Biodegradable Electronics: Ionic Diodes Based on a Cellulose Nanocrystal-Agarose Hydrogel

• Matthew Phillips

Bioderived cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are used to create mild, versatile, biocompatible, and biodegradable digital gadgets. Herein, floor modification of cellulose nanocrystals was employed to manufacture cationic and anionic CNCs. Subsequently, we demonstrated rectification conduct from a set junction between two agarose hydrogels doped with cationic and anionic cellulose nanocrystals. The present rectification ratio reaches 70…
