Abstract
AbstractThere has been no research conducted thus far on the semiconducting behaviour of biomaterials. In this study, we present an n-type semiconducting biomaterial composed of amorphous kenaf cellulose fibre (AKCF) paper with a voltage-controlled N-type negative resistance. The AKCF generates an alternating-current wave with a frequency of 40.6 MHz from a direct-current voltage source at its threshold voltage (electric field of 5.26 kV/m), which is accompanied by a switching effect with a four-order resistance change at 293 K. This effect is attributed to the voltage-induced occurrence of strong field domains (electric double layers) at the cathode and depletion at the anode of the AKCF device. The proposed AKCF material presents considerable potential for applications in flexible/paper electronic devices such as high frequency power sources and switching effect devices.
