Herein, we demonstrate a molecular-level surface design that actively orchestrates an anionic bottom-up flux from the electrolyte bulk to the hard carbon interface. By engineering a synergistic pair of pyridinic-N and carbonyl groups on the carbon surface, we create a functional-differentiation microenvironment where pyridinic-N selectively anchors PF<sub>6</sub><sup>-</sup> anions, while the cooperative carbonyl repels solvent molecules. This dual functionality establishes a sustained concentration gradient that drives a continuous reverse flux of anions toward the interface, fundamentally redirecting the electrolyte decomposition pathway from solvent-dominated to anion-preferential. The tailored surface lowers the PF<sub>6</sub><sup>-</sup> decomposition barrier by over 70%, yielding a thin, inorganic-rich solid-electrolyte interphase dominated by NaF and Na<sub>2</sub>O. The optimized anode achieves 91.9% Coulombic efficiency with high reversible capacity of 368.2 mAh g<sup>-1</sup>, and 96.5% capacity retention after 5,000 cycles. A pouch cell assembled with NFPP cathode achieves an energy density of 239.1 Wh kg<sup>-1</sup> and stable operation over 500 cycles, demonstrating strong practical potential.

However, existing optoelectronic memristors often require electrical assistance or exhibit nonlinear and asymmetric conductance updates, limiting their energy efficiency and scalability. Herein, we report a spectrally partitioned all-optical memristor based on a PbS/PEDOT:PSS/VO<sub>x</sub> heterostructure, in which near-infrared and visible light are coupled to opposite defect-state filling and depletion pathways. Near-infrared illumination selectively excites PbS quantum dots and drives gradual electron transfer into oxygen-vacancy-related defect states in VO<sub>x</sub> through the PEDOT:PSS-regulated interface, producing continuous conductance potentiation. By contrast, visible illumination activates VO<sub>x</sub> and promotes interfacial hole-assisted recombination, leading to reversible depletion of defect-state electrons and conductance depression. This wavelength-selective carrier-transfer process enables highly linear and symmetric all-optical weight updates, achieving a linearity of 0.9994 and an effective 8-bit conductance resolution. The electrical energy consumption per optically induced synaptic event is calculated to be as low as 0.63 fJ under an ultralow probing bias. By integrating the devices into a 32 × 32 all-optically programmed array, we further demonstrate hardware-based BloodMNIST microscopic blood-cell image classification with an accuracy of 96.5% and strong noise robustness.

In this review, we summarize the development of neuromorphic memristors from the perspectives of biological inspiration, representative material systems, device architectures, performance metrics, and artificial intelligence-oriented applications. Different from previous reviews that mainly focus on memristor materials, switching mechanisms, or neuromorphic functions separately, this article further emphasizes the relationships between memristor characteristics and distinct AI-oriented tasks, including AI acceleration, neuromorphic computing, intelligent sensing, and human–machine interaction.
