| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The electrochemical iron dissolution is a bistable reaction, which induces the self-sustained current oscillation. This is the non-linear electrochemical oscillator. When the two oscillators are coupled together, the non-linear current oscillation emerge the entrainment. These coupling can expand in the numbers of the oscillators. This network can be considered as the non-linear electrochemical circuit. This circuit demonstrates the robustness against the partial damage to perform the function, such as unidirectional wave propagation. The geometries of the circuits do not always require the accurate spatial alignment of the oscillators. Based on the non-linearity of the oscillator, the redundancy and the robustness are co-existing to maintain the performance of the circuit. The non-linear electrochemical circuit can emulate a biological network, which is also equipped with the redundancy and robustness to possible perturbation against the performance.
