In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the development of electronic devices using non-conventional soft matter materials, as a novel alternative to traditional solid state electronic devices. These traditional solid state devices are fragile and usually are made of non-biocompatible materials. The possibility of producing resilient nano-electronic devices opens a new avenue in the development of technological applications. In this work, we propose the theoretical construction of an electric current rectifying device using a mixture of electrolytes in a configuration that is completely in liquid state.
