Article Abstract
Recently, electronic devices that make use of a state called the electric double layers (EDL) of ion have opened up a wide range of research opportunities, from novel physical phenomena in solid-state materials to next-generation low-power consumption devices. They are considered to be the future iontronics devices. EDLs behave as nanogap capacitors, resulting the high density of charge carriers is induced at semiconductor/electrolyte by applying only a few volts of the bias voltage. This enables the low-power operation of electronic devices as well as new functional devices. Furthermore, by controlling the motion of ions, ions can be used as semi-permanent charge to form electrets. In this article, we are going to introduce the recent advanced application of iontronics devices as well as energy harvesters making use of ion-based electrets, leading to the future iontronics research.

2D nanochannels have drawn significant interest as a means to develop nanofluidic devices with great potential for future sensing. Target recognition in the 2D nanochannels of a sensing system has been verified to change the ionic passageways to obtain high sensitivity, but until recently, the signal mechanisms have rarely been investigated. Here, explicit hydrophobic interactions and charge effects on target-induced ionic signals are demonstrated by using hydrophobic 2D nanochannels and hydrophilic negatively charged DNA complex-functionalized nanochannels.

Traditional electronic skins (e-skins) face significant challenges in system integration and practical usability demonstrations, limiting their ability to meet the development demands of robot intellectualization under future artificial intelligence (AI) frameworks. Here, a bionic dual receptor (BDR) e-skin motivated by AI-based hardware-software coordination is proposed, which consists of electrospinning fiber triboelectric unit inspired by fast-adapting receptors and micropyramid ionic hydrogel iontronic unit inspired by slow-adapting receptors. Benefiting from the iontronic effect and micropyramid structure, the iontronic unit yields impressive features: a linear sensitivity of 172 kPa (30 kPa), a fast response/recovery time of 11.

Nanopipettes with carbon-coated inner surfaces (carbon nanopipettes, CNPs) have attracted considerable attention due to their exceptional sensitivity and potential in electroanalytical applications. The nanoconfinement of the sample solution within the CNP facilitates a thin-layer electrochemical regime, in which ion and electron transferences are inherently coupled. This feature allows exhaustive oxidation/reduction of certain analytes within typical electroanalytical time scales, offering unprecedented opportunities for nanoscale sensing.

However, such a combination of high toughness, superior crack resistance, autonomous self-healing and effective control of ion dynamics is rarely seen in artificial iontronic skin because these features are seemingly incompatible in materials design. Here, we resolve this perennial mismatch through a molecularly engineered strategy of implanting carboxyl-functionalized groups into the dynamic hard domain structure of synthesized poly(urethane-urea).
