Through observing the inversion of its rectification behavior, we demonstrate the function of the PE bilayers in ionic transport regulation. The ionic diode exhibits an ultrahigh ion rectification at a low level of pH. In an aqueous NaCl solution at pH 2, for example, the ratio of the current at “ON” state and that at “OFF” state can be about 800 and 200 for 1 and 100 mM, respectively. This remarkable gating behavior can be explained by the anion-pump-induced ion accumulation in the neutral region as well as the depletion zone at the interface. Our results further demonstrate the possibility of achieving an ultrahigh rectification in an ionic diode having a unipolar-like configuration. ? 2021 American Chemical Society |
