Exampled by the representative Na<sub>3</sub>V<sub>2</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)O<sub>2</sub>F (NVPOF) with considerable theoretical energy density, structural distortion results in a one-dimensional sluggish Na<sup>+</sup> diffusion out of the two-dimensional Na<sup>+</sup> pathway provided structurally. Previous endeavors with Na site or transition-metal site regulation successfully optimize the Na<sup>+</sup> diffusion energy barrier of the available one-dimensional path. However, these substituted elements with non-equivalent valances or sizes further elevate the energy barrier of the other unavailable Na<sup>+</sup> diffusion path. Herein, by defining the independently accessible Na<sup>+</sup> diffusion pathways in the crystallographic structure as Na<sup>+</sup> diffusion degree of freedom (df<sub>[Na+]</sub>), we demonstrate broadening df<sub>[Na+]</sub> to two in NVPOF by a mild perturb at the dangling site can fundamentally revise the Na<sup>+</sup> diffusion behaviour. As demonstrated by in-situ synchrotron, various spectroscopic techniques, and density functional theory (DFT) modeling, this mild perturb equalizes the Na<sup>+</sup> diffusion energy barriers along a and b directions and enables two-dimensional Na<sup>+</sup> transportation. The as-prepared NVPOF depicts an altered solid-solution phase transition, higher disorder in the framework and dramatically enhanced Na<sup>+</sup> diffusivity, which leads to unprecedentedly high sodium storage properties in half cell (68.6 mAh g<sup>-1</sup> at 100 C; 103.3 mAh g<sup>-1</sup> after 1300 cycles at 20 C; 1 C = 130 mA g<sup>-1</sup>) and full cell (313.8 Wh kg<sup>-1</sup>@4063.5 W kg<sup>-1</sup>; 113.9 Wh kg<sup>-1</sup>@16,397.2 W kg<sup>-1</sup>).

Nevertheless, realizing R-STDP in a single synaptic device for building compact and energy-efficient neuromorphic systems remains challenging. Here, we report a two-dimensional ferroelectric memtransistor to emulate the R-STDP learning rule by effectively reconfiguring the STDP and anti-STDP. The thermionic emission and tunneling behavior of charges at the ferroelectric interface can be regulated via vertical electric field in a multi-terminal manner, allowing for controllable polarization reversal of synaptic plasticity and transition between STDP and anti-STDP. This enables faithful realization of the R-STDP feature in a single device with energy consumption of ∼1.3 nJ (the lowest known to date), approximately 10<sup>6</sup> times lower than that of its complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) counterpart. By leveraging the synaptic characteristics in the hardware device, we construct spiking neural networks (SNNs) trained with R-STDP to perform robotic recognition and tracking tasks. The SNN achieves 95.1% accuracy on the MNIST dataset using only 8000 parameters, and faster convergence speed requiring only one data batch with 100% inference in the few-shot learning task. Moreover, a robotic arm motion control system configured with R-STDP exhibits 85.5% success rate in tracking both the static and moving targets, illustrating its outstanding adaptability to the dynamic environments.
