Flexible, Transparent, and Wafer-Scale Artificial Synapse Array Based on TiO_x/Ti₃C₂T_x Film for Neuromorphic Computing

A high-density neuromorphic computing memristor array based on 2D materials paves the way for next-generation information-processing components and in-memory computing systems. However, the traditional 2D-materials-based memristor devices suffer from poor flexibility and opacity, which hinders the application of memristors in flexible electronics. Here, a flexible artificial synapse array based on TiOx/Ti3C2Tx film is fabricated by a convenient and energy-efficient solution-processing technique, which realizes high transmittance (& AP;90%) and oxidation resistance (>30 days). The TiOx/Ti3C2Tx memristor shows low device-to-device variability, long memory retention and endurance, a high ON/OFF ratio, and fundamental synaptic behavior. Furthermore, satisfactory flexibility (R = 1.0 mm) and mechanical endurance (10(4) bending cycles) of the TiOx/Ti3C2Tx memristor are achieved, which is superior to other film memristors prepared by chemical vapor deposition. In addition, high-precision (>96.44%) MNIST handwritten digits recognition classification simulation indicates that the TiOx/Ti3C2Tx artificial synapse array holds promise for future neuromorphic computing applications, and provides excellent high-density neuron circuits for new flexible intelligent electronic equipment.
