Abstract
Solution-processable semiconductor heterostructures enable scalable fabrication of high performance electronic and optoelectronic devices with tunable functions via heterointerface control. In particular, artificial optical synapses require interface manipulation for nonlinear signal processing. However, the limited combinations of materials for heterostructure construction have restricted the tunability of synaptic behaviors with simple device configurations. Herein, MAPbBr3 nanocrystals were hybridized with MgAl layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoplates through a room temperature self-assembly process. The formation of such heterostructures, which exhibited an epitaxial relationship, enabled effective hole transfer from MAPbBr3 to LDH, and greatly reduced the defect states in MAPbBr3. Importantly, the ion-conductive nature of LDH and its ability to form a charged surface layer even under low humidity conditions allowed it to attract and trap holes from MAPbBr3. This imparted tunable synaptic behaviors and short-term plasticity (STP) to long-term plasticity (LTP) transition to a two-terminal device based on the LDH-MAPbBr3 heterostructures. The further neuromorphic computing simulation under varying humidity conditions showcased their potential in learning and recognition tasks under ambient conditions. Our work presents a new type of epitaxial heterostructure comprising metal halide perovskites and layered ion-conductive materials, and provides a new way of realizing charge-trapping induced synaptic behaviors.
期刊介绍:
Nanoscale Horizons stands out as a premier journal for publishing exceptionally high-quality and innovative nanoscience and nanotechnology. The emphasis lies on original research that introduces a new concept or a novel perspective (a conceptual advance), prioritizing this over reporting technological improvements. Nevertheless, outstanding articles showcasing truly groundbreaking developments, including record-breaking performance, may also find a place in the journal. Published work must be of substantial general interest to our broad and diverse readership across the nanoscience and nanotechnology community.
