Speech Title: Neuromorphic Devices for Functional Sensing Applications
Abstract: Neuromorphic devices are a new type of electronic device that simulates the synaptic plasticity and dynamic characteristics of neurons in biological nervous systems. They can achieve the integration of sensing, storage, and computing functions, and demonstrate unique advantages in breaking through the energy efficiency bottleneck of traditional architectures in fields such as brain like computing and intelligent perception. Our research mainly focuses on the charge carrier and ion transport of neuromorphic devices, utilizing nanotechnology and assembly processes to cross integrate with functional nanomaterials and nanoelectronics, and incorporating optoelectronic effects into functional devices. Our neuromorphic devices were constructed using functional organic-inorganic composite materials, with the goal of regulating the microstructure of the aggregated state of composite materials, revealing the composite principle and multi-mode synergistic enhancement mechanism of composite materials, and further expanding the sensing, memory, and computing applications of the devices.
