The construction of an ionic soft triode based on interfacial ion adsorption and redox oxidizer depletion is reported.

Colloidal Silver nanoparticles were prepared under mild conditions using poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) in the presence of PVA as surfactant. Ethylene glycol was used as a reducing agent for the preparation of metal particles at room temperature. Ag +1 can be smoothly reduced to silver nanoparticles at ambient condition in PEG 400. UV-visible studies demonstrated that the reducing rate of Ag +1 to nano-Ag was remarkably enhanced with the increased amount of the PEG. The transmission microscope images prove that the reduced Ag nanoparticles were spherical in shape. The pathway described here was considered as a green route for preparation of silver nanoparticles.

A recently found, new ionic device called Ionic Voltage Effect Soft Triode (IVEST) was optimized, tuned and embedded into a memory application concept. The device is an electrochemical micro-cell, consisting...
