Here, we report an all-in-one memristor with Cs<sub>2</sub>AgBiBr<sub>6</sub> perovskite, where the Br vacancy doping-endowed tunable energy band enables tunable photoresponsivity (TPR) behavior. As a result, the memristor showed a large tunable ratio of 35.9 dB, while its photoresponsivity presented a maximum of 2.7 × 10<sup>3</sup> mA W<sup>−1</sup> and a long-term memory behavior with over 10<sup>4</sup> s, making it suitable for realizing all-in-one processing tasks.

From the perspective of carrier transfer mechanism, a systematic summary of hybrids based on COFs and other functional materials (metal single atoms, metal clusters/nanoparticles, inorganic semiconductors, metal–organic frameworks, and other polymers) can offer valuable guidance for the design of COFs-based hybrids. In this review, the photocatalytic mechanism for hybrid materials (such as Schottky junction, type II heterojunction, Z-scheme heterojunction, and S-scheme heterojunction) is briefly introduced. Subsequently, the performance of COFs-based hybrids in photocatalytic water splitting, CO<sub>2</sub> reduction, and pollutant degradation are comprehensively reviewed. Specifically, the carrier separation and transfer in different types of hybrids are highlighted. Finally, the challenges and prospects of COFs-based hybrids for photocatalysis are envisaged.

Inspired by the human brain, resistive random-access memories (ReRAMs) have recently emerged as an essential component of the intelligent circuitry architecture for developing high-performance neuromorphic computing systems. This occurs due to their fast switching with ultralow power consumption, high ON/OFF ratio, excellent data retention, good endurance, and even great possibilities for altering resistance analogous to their biological counterparts for neuromorphic computing applications. Additionally, with the advantages of photoelectric dual modulation of resistive switching, ReRAMs allow optically inspired artificial neural networks and reconfigurable logic operations, promoting innovative in-memory computing technology for neuromorphic computing and image recognition tasks. Optoelectronic neuromorphic computing architectured ReRAMs can simulate neural functionalities, such as light-triggered long-term/short-term plasticity. They can be used in intelligent robotics and bionic neurological optoelectronic systems. Metal oxide (MOx)–polymer hybrid nanocomposites can be beneficial as an active layer of the bistable metal–insulator–metal ReRAM devices, which hold promise for developing high-performance memory technology. This review explores the state of the art for developing memory storage, advancement in materials, and switching mechanisms for selecting the appropriate materials as active layers of ReRAMs to boost the ON/OFF ratio, flexibility, and memory density while lowering programming voltage. Furthermore, material design cum-synthesis strategies that greatly influence the overall performance of MOx–polymer hybrid nanocomposite ReRAMs and their performances are highlighted. Additionally, the recent progress of multifunctional optoelectronic MOx–polymer hybrid composites-based ReRAMs are explored as artificial synapses for neural networks to emulate neuromorphic visualization and memorize information.

A semiconductor coating is critical to improve the work function but usually makes graphene rougher and more conductive, which increases leakage, and then significantly restrict device efficiency improvement and worsens reliability. Here an insulating polyimide bearing carbazole-substituted triphenylamine units and bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl groups (CzTPA PI/2CF<sub>3</sub>) with high thermal stability is synthesized to passivate graphene. The similar surface free energy allows the uniform coating of CzTPA PI/2CF<sub>3</sub>/N-methylpyrrolidone on graphene.
