Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) prove to be effective devices in various applications such as neuromorphic functionalities, bioelectronics, and sensors. Analyzing these mixed ionic-electronic devices is often complex due to the coupling of hole transport along the channel with ion insertion from the electrolyte. Numerous literature reports highlight persistent dynamical hysteresis effects in current-voltage curves, attributed to the gradual ionic charging of the channel under applied gate voltage.
We introduce a model that takes into account the primary electrical and electrochemical operational aspects of the device. This model is based on a thermodynamic function of ion insertion, allowing for the convenient classification of hysteresis effects. Such hysteresis can be categorized as capacitive or inductive. We specifically identify the volume capacitance as the derivative of the thermodynamic function, linked to the chemical capacitance of the ionic-electronic film.
Our findings reveal that the inductor response observed in impedance spectroscopy is associated with ionic diffusion from the surface, filling the channel up to the equilibrium value. The model uncovers multiple dynamical features tied to specific kinetic relaxations that govern the transient and impedance response of the OECT.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
