Abstract
AbstractArtificial optoelectronic synapses with both electrical and light‐induced synaptic behaviors have recently been studied for applications in neuromorphic computing and artificial vision systems. However, the combination of visual perception and high‐performance information processing capabilities still faces challenges. In this work, the authors demonstrate a memristor based on 2D bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) nanosheets that can exhibit bipolar resistive switching (RS) performance as well as electrical and light‐induced synaptic plasticity eminently suitable for low‐power optoelectronic synapses. The fabricated memristor exhibits high‐performance RS behaviors with a high ON/OFF ratio up to 105, an ultralow SET voltage of ≈0.05 V which is one order of magnitude lower than that of most reported memristors based on 2D materials, and low power consumption. Furthermore, the memristor demonstrates not only electrical voltage‐driven long‐term potentiation, depression plasticity, and paired‐pulse facilitation, but also light‐induced short‐ and long‐term plasticity. Moreover, the photonic synapse can be used to simulate the “learning experience” behaviors of human brain. Consequently, not only the memristor based on BiOI nanosheets shows ultra‐low SET voltage and low‐power consumption, but also the optoelectronic synapse provides new material and strategy to construct low‐power retina‐like vision sensors with functions of perceiving and processing information.
