    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Nanotechnology
    • Biomaterials

    Background:

    • Bioderived cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are promising for developing sustainable electronic devices.
    • CNCs offer unique properties like light weight, flexibility, biocompatibility, and biodegradability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To fabricate cationic and anionic cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) through surface modification.
    • To demonstrate rectification behavior in a fixed junction of agarose hydrogels doped with these modified CNCs.

    Main Methods:

    • Surface modification of cellulose nanocrystals to create cationic and anionic forms.
    • Fabrication of a fixed junction between two agarose hydrogels doped with oppositely charged CNCs.
    • Characterization of current-voltage (I-V) properties of the resulting CNC-hydrogel diode.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a reproducible current rectification ratio of 70, significantly exceeding previous reports.
    • Demonstrated that CNCs' high surface area leads to high charge density and effective rectification.
    • Identified key factors influencing diode performance, including concentration, gel thickness, and scanning frequency.

    Conclusions:

    • The CNC-hydrogel diode exhibits superior rectification performance compared to microfibrillated cellulose and polyelectrolyte gel diodes.
    • Surface-modified CNCs enable efficient charge density, leading to effective rectification with minimal dopant material.
    • This work highlights the potential of CNCs for creating advanced, sustainable electronic components.
