Self-Powered and Humidity-Modulable Optoelectronic Synapse

With the advantage of high bandwidth, low power consumption, and low crosstalk from optical signal stimulation, optoelectronic synapses are attracting more and more attention. Herein, a self-powered two-terminal optoelectronic synapse based on a lead-free Cs₂AgBiBr₆ perovskite/P(VDF-TrFE)/pentacene heterostructure is designed, which shows bidirectional responses to optical stimuli with different wavelengths (λ = 445 nm/660 nm). This feature enables the device to emulate both excitatory and inhibitory synaptic behaviors in a fully optical pathway. Besides optical stimulus, humidity is used as an additional stimulus to modulate the synaptic performance of the device under 445 nm illumination. The device is successfully applied to stimulate the behavior of the weather tree forecast and visual learning and forgetting processes under different mood states via humidity regulation.
