Nanopore technology has promising potential in fields such as high-density energy conversion, stochastic chemical sensing, logic operation and neuromorphic computing, separation and fundamental nanoelectrochemistry due to its rich ion transport features and easy fabrication. Understanding the ion transport dynamics at the solid-liquid interface is essential for further technological advancements. Ion current rectification (ICR) and its time-dependent hysteresis have been found to arise from the asymmetric nanointerfaces (geometry, together with surface charges in polarity and density). While various nanostructures can be fabricated and surface charges can be modified, active controls in ICR and hysteresis during transport applications are lacking. Here, we report actively controlled transport hysteresis in ion current rectification though PEDOT-modified single nanopipettes and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) provides high conductivity and chemical stability, low operating voltages, and enhanced performances in hydrophilicity, processability, and flexibility. The PEDOT:PSS aqueous dispersion is crosslinked inside a nanopipette or assembled onto one side of the AAO surface. Oxidation and reduction reversibly switch the PEDOT between the positive and neutral form, and thus modulate the space charge in nanopores or across the AAO membranes, correspondingly, the ion transport behaviors. The amplitude and polarity of ICR and the scale of hysteresis through a nanopore or AAO membrane have been altered by oxidizing/reducing the PEDOT substrate by adjusting the external electrical field. In contrast, the surface charge varying on pH, ionic strength, and electrolyte type is commonly adopted in ion transport studies but cannot be externally regulated in real-time. Interestingly, negative differential resistance (NDR) is also found in the PEDOT-modified nanopores in simple KCl systems without external pressure differential or concentration gradients. The NDR peak position and magnitude can be easily adjusted by controlling the redox states of the PEDOT fillings. Figure 1
