Flexible organic artificial synapse with ultrashort-term plasticity for tunable time-frequency signal processing

A flexible organic artificial synapse(OAS)for tunable time-frequency signal processing was fabricated using a tri-blend film that had been fabricated using a one-step solution method.When combined with a chitosan film,this OAS can achieve an ultrashort-term retention time of only 49 ms for instant electricalcomputing applications;this is the shortest retention time yet achieved by a two-terminal artificial synapse.An array of these flexible OASs can withstand a high bending strain of 5%for 10^(4) cycles;this deformation endurance is a new record.The OAS was also sensitive to the number and frequency of electrical inputs;a tunable cut-off frequency enables dynamic filtering for use in image detail enhancement.This work provides a new resource for development of future neuromorphic computing devices。
