Temperature Driven Current-Voltage Characteristics of Ionic Liquid Type Intelligent Connection Device

Abstract

The temperature dependence of an intelligent connection (IConnect) device, in which an ionic liquid (IL) plays an essential role in a memristive function is presented in this study. An appropriate choice of IL and dissolved metal ion species can control the volatility of the IL-IConnect device. The temperature dependence of the IL-IConnect device was strong, although the change in current-voltage characteristics was reversible in response to temperature variations. The device's potential as a physical reservoir-computing device is studied.
