Unlike optoelectronic devices, lattice distortion driven by A-site cation variation (A = Cs, Rb, K) is a key mechanism for enhancing the switching properties of APbI<sub>3</sub>-based flexible memristor devices. This distortion, particularly noticeable in KPbI<sub>3</sub>’s orthorhombic phase, alters crystal structure, electronic as well as charge transport properties. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to calculate ionic migration barriers in the orthorhombic structures, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis provides insights into the chemical environment and bonding states. Leveraging this effect, KPbI<sub>3</sub> exhibits exceptional non-volatile data storage performance, with a high ON/OFF ratio (∼10³) and self-rectification (∼10³). Conversely, CsPbI<sub>3</sub> with subtle lattice distortion, displays superior synaptic behavior and efficient spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), ideal for neuromorphic computing. CsPbI<sub>3</sub> demonstrates remarkable potential for artificial neural networks (ANNs), achieving ∼97 % accuracy in Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) dataset, image classification with minimal training, and 85 % accuracy in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on the <strong>Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (</strong>CIFAR-10) dataset. Our findings highlight the critical role of small cation size in modulating Schottky barriers, morphology, and ionic migration, and their direct impact on resistive switching properties. These results underscore the potential of cation size modulation as an effective strategy for designing memristors for a wide range of applications, including neuromorphic computing, signal processing, logic gates, and quantum computing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":394,"journal":{"name":"Nano Energy","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 110871"},"PeriodicalIF":16.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143640140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The solid-solid TENG is prone to friction loss during operation, which results in the service life and stability not being adequately guaranteed. In this paper, a rotary solid-liquid TENG (RSL-TENG) is proposed to solve the above problems. The results show that RSL-TENG has high stability after up to 50 h of continuous 600,000 cycles of operation with no decay of the transferred charge after 50 h.
