Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain. ACS cannot be held responsible for errors or consequences arising from the use of information contained in these “Just Accepted” manuscripts.

KEYWORDS: Gelatin hydrogel, PEDOT:PSS, pH modulation, Organic electrochemical transistor, Logic circuit ABSTRACT: We suggest gelatin hydrogel as electrolyte and demonstrate OECT based on a sheet of gelatin. We also modulate electrical characteristics of the OECT with respect to pH condition of gelatin hydrogel from acid to base, and analyze its characteristics based on electrochemical theory. Moreover, we extend the gelatin based OECT to electrochemical logic circuits, for example, NOT, NOR and NAND gate.

biocompatibility utilized in bioelectronics 32-38; however, the mechanism of operation is totally different from field-effect transistors, from the aspect of direct injection of ions into the active layer. Moreover, OECTs are utilized with silver (Ag)/silver chloride (AgCl) electrodes as gate/reference. Similarly, developing liquid electrolyte-based OECTs into various types of electronics is also limited, as mentioned above.

INTRODUCTION Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) based on new organic semiconductors and fabrication methods, like 3D printing 1-5 or meniscus coating 610, are expected to allow novel opportunities to create flexible display 11-12, foldable electronics 13-15, and electronic skins (E-skin) 16-19, due to their flexibility, biocompatible nature, and costeffectiveness. Alternatively, electrolyte-gated transistor (EGT) 20-25 is also compatible and promising, due to its high capacitance electrolyte, which is much higher than conventional dielectric materials, such as silicon dioxide (SiO2) 26-28. Typically, EGTs are based on liquid electrolytes having free mobile ions, which are the main components to form higher capacitance induced by an electrical double layer at low driving voltage (
