Abstract
Visuomorphic computing aims to simulate and potentially surpass the human retina by mimicking biological visual perception with an artificial retina. Despite significant progress, challenges persist in perceiving complex interactive environments. Negative photoconductivity transistors (NPTs) mimic synaptic behavior by achieving adjustable positive photoconductivity (PPC) and negative photoconductivity (NPC), simulating "excitation" and "inhibition" akin to sensory cell signals. In complex interactive environments, NPTs are desired for visuomorphic computing that can achieve a better sense of information, lower power consumption, and reduce hardware complexity. In this review, it is started by introducing the development process of NPTs, while placing a strong emphasis on the device structures, working mechanisms, and key performance parameters. The common material systems employed in NPTs based on their functions are then summarized. Moreover, it is proceeded to summarize the noteworthy applications of NPTs in optoelectronic devices, including advanced multibit nonvolatile memory, optoelectronic logic gates, optical encryption, and visual perception. Finally, the challenges and prospects that lie ahead in the ongoing development of NPTs are addressed, offering valuable insights into their applications in optoelectronics and a comprehensive understanding of their significance.

Abstract
In the quest for advanced memristor technologies, this study introduces the synthesis of delta-formamidinium lead iodide (δ-FAPbI3) nanoparticles (NPs) and their self-assembly into nanorods (NRs). The formation of these NRs is facilitated by iodide vacancies, promoting the fusion of individual NPs at higher concentrations. Notably, these NRs exhibit robust stability under ambient conditions, a distinctive advantage attributed to the presence of capping ligands and a crystal lattice structured around face-sharing octahedra. When employed as the active layer in resistive random-access memory devices, these NRs demonstrate exceptional bipolar switching properties. A remarkable on/off ratio (105) is achieved, surpassing the performances of previously reported low-dimensional perovskite derivatives and α-FAPbI3 NP-based devices. This enhanced performance is attributed to the low off-state current owing to the reduced number of halide vacancies, intrinsic low dimensionality, and the parallel alignment of NRs on the FTO substrate. This study not only provides significant insights into the development of superior materials for memristor applications but also opens new avenues for exploring low-dimensional perovskite derivatives in advanced electronic devices.

Abstract
CH3NH3PbI3 has shown great potential for photodetectors and photovoltaic devices due to its excellent positive response to visible light. However, its real-time response characteristics hinder its application in optical memory and logic operation; moreover, the presence of excessive PbI2 is a double-edged sword. Herein, we constructed a dual-terminal device using a single CH3NH3PbI3 micro/nanowire with two Ag electrodes, and then in situ introduced PbI2 quantum dots (QDs) as hole trap centres by thermal decomposition at 160 °C. An anomalous negative photoconductivity (NPC) effect for sub-bandgap light below the PbI2 bandgap is obtained. Importantly, an electrically erasable nonvolatile photomemory can be realized. Furthermore, the device also exhibits an abnormal positive thermal resistance (PTR)-related thermomemory effect, and the thermal-induced high-resistance state (HRS) can be erased by a large bias or an illumination of 365 nm super-bandgap UV light. Additionally, logical "OR" gate operations are achieved through a combination of 650 nm sub-bandgap light and a 70 °C temperature-induced HRS, as well as a large bias and 365 nm super-bandgap light-triggered low-resistance state. These effects are attributed to the excitation and injection of holes in QDs and structural defect traps. This multifunctional device, integrating real-time sensing, nonvolatile memory, and logical operation, holds significant potential for novel electronic and optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
A single ZnO nanowire device with volatile resistive switching behavior has been prepared. Different from traditional resistive switching devices, such ZnO nanowire devices do not exhibit resistive switching behaviors under a single bias voltage, and appear resistive switching behavior under the combined action of light stimuli and bias voltage. Through the demonstration of the time-dependent hysteresis curve and atmosphere-dependent hysteresis loop of the resistive switching devices, it is believed that under the resistive switching process, ultraviolet illumination can increase the carrier concentration and modulate the barrier depletion structure, and external bias voltage can ionize the surface state. They work together to modulate the switching process of the devices. Such light stimuli and bias voltage dual-modulated resistive switching device enables optical control and may thus be considered for sensory applications or optically tunable memories.

ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:2539-2553.

Abstract
In this work, the discovery of volatile memristive devices that exhibit analog resistive switching (RS) and synaptic emulation based on squaraine materials is presented. Specifically, organic microtubes (MTs) based on 2,4-bis[(4-(N,N-diisobutyl)-2-6-hydroxyphenyl]squaraine (SQ) are prepared by evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA). The MTs are ca. 2 μm in diameter (aspect ratio: 10-130). While powder X-ray diffraction data for MTs identify monoclinic and orthorhombic polymorphs, optical data report the monoclinic phase with energetic disorder. By favorable energetic alignment of the Au work function with the SQ HOMO energy, unipolar (hole-only) symmetric metal-insulator-metal devices are formed by EISA of MT meshes on interdigitated electrodes. The DC I-V characteristics acquired exhibit pinched hysteretic I-V loops, indicative of memristive behavior. Analysis indicates Ohmic transport at low bias with carrier extraction by thermionic emission. At high bias, space-charge-limited conduction in the presence of traps distributed in energy, enhanced by a Poole-Frenkel effect and with carrier extraction by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling, is observed. These data indicate purely electronic conduction. I-V hysteresis attenuates at smaller voltage windows, suggesting that carrier trapping/detrapping underpins the hysteresis. By applying triangular voltage waveforms, device conductance gradually increases sweep-on-sweep, with wait-time-erase or voltage-erase options. Using square waveforms, repeated erase-write-read of multiple distinct conductance states is achieved. Such analog RS behavior is consistent with trap filling/emptying effects. By waveform design, volatile conductance states may also be written so that successive conductance states exhibit identical current levels, indicating forgetting of previously written states and mimicking the forgetting curve. Finally, advanced synaptic functions, i.e., excitatory postsynaptic current, paired-pulse facilitation, pulse-dependent plasticity, and a transition from short- to long-term memory driven by post-tetanic potentiation, are demonstrated.

Abstract
Nanostructured hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites exhibit remarkable photodetection performance due to their abundant surface states and high responsivity to visible light. However, in traditional photodetectors with a symmetrical configuration of two-terminal electrodes, the photoresponse is independent of bias polarity. Moreover, for self-powered photodetectors, an asymmetric structure of the chemical composition, such as p-n and Schottky junctions, and two different electrodes are necessary. Herein, we demonstrate a modulable asymmetrical photoresponse by packing only one electrode end in a single CH3NH3PbI3 micro/nanowire with two symmetrical Ag electrodes. This not only enables the high performance of light- and bias-modulated multifunctional photorectifiers and self-powered photodetectors, but also allows controllable implementation of nonvolatile photomemory with a tunable spectral responsivity and range. At an unpacked electrode interface, trace moisture in the environment promotes a good bonding of Ag+ and I-, substantially decreasing the interface barrier. Conversely, at a packed electrode interface, abundant surface states can be well preserved, leading to a high interface barrier. Notably, under a large voltage and strong light, the redox of Ag/AgI at the unpacked electrode interface and the injection and ejection of holes at the packed electrode interface can be reversibly conducted by inverting the voltage polarity, enabling a controllable nonvolatile modulation. Therefore, by clarifying the actual origin of the photoelectrical response of CH3NH3PbI3 micro/nanowires at electrode interfaces, high-performance multifunctional photorectifiers and self-powered photodetectors based on asymmetrical interface photovoltaic effects with two symmetrical electrodes can be controllably realized. Furthermore, by precise cooperative modulation of two electrode interface states with a large voltage and strong illumination, nonvolatile photomemory with a tunable spectral responsivity and range can be implemented.

Abstract
Although CH3NH3PbI3 can present an excellent photoresponse to visible light, its application in solar cells and photodetectors is seriously hindered due to hysteresis behaviour. Moreover, for its origin, there exist different opinions. Herein, we demonstrate a route to realize precise control for the electrical transport of a single CH3NH3PbI3 micro/nanowire by constructing a two-terminal device with asymmetric Ag and C electrodes, and its hysteresis can be clearly identified as a synergistic effect of the redox reaction at the interface of the Ag electrode and the injection and ejection of holes in the interfacial traps of the C electrode rather than its bulk effect. The device can show superior bias amplitude and illumination intensity dependence of hysteresis loops with typical bipolar resistive switching features. Thus, an excellent multilevel nonvolatile optical memory can be effectively realized by the modulation of the illumination and bias, and moreover a logic OR gate operation can be successfully implemented with voltage and illumination as input signals as well. This work clearly reveals and provides a new insight of hysteresis origin that can be attributed to a synergistic effect of two asymmetrical electrode interfaces, and therefore precisely controlling its electrical transport to realize an outstanding application potential in multifunctional devices integrated with optical nonvolatile memory and logic OR gate operation.

Abstract
Perovskite materials have driven tremendous advances in constructing electronic devices owing to their low cost, facile synthesis, outstanding electric and optoelectronic properties, flexible dimensionality engineering, and so on. Particularly, emerging nonvolatile memory devices (eNVMs) based on perovskites give birth to numerous traditional paradigm terminators in the fields of storage and computation. Despite significant exploration efforts being devoted to perovskite-based high-density storage and neuromorphic electronic devices, research studies on materials' dimensionality that has dominant effects on perovskite electronics' performances are paid little attention; therefore, a review from the point of view of structural morphologies of perovskites is essential for constructing perovskite-based devices. Here, recent advances of perovskite-based eNVMs (memristors and field-effect-transistors) are reviewed in terms of the dimensionality of perovskite materials and their potentialities in storage or neuromorphic computing. The corresponding material preparation methods, device structures, working mechanisms, and unique features are showcased and evaluated in detail. Furthermore, a broad spectrum of advanced technologies (e.g., hardware-based neural networks, in-sensor computing, logic operation, physical unclonable functions, and true random number generator), which are successfully achieved for perovskite-based electronics, are investigated. It is obvious that this review will provide benchmarks for designing high-quality perovskite-based electronics for application in storage, neuromorphic computing, artificial intelligence, information security, etc.

Abstract
Here, CdS@C nanohybrid composites, where CdS quantum dots (QDs) are uniformly embedded in carbon micro-/nanobelt matrixes, are synthesized via a combustion synthesis followed by a postvulcanization. In the nanohybrids, trap centers are effectively created by the introduction of QDs and moreover their barrier height and filling level can be effectively modulated through a coupling of externally loaded strain and bias. Thus, a single CdS@C micro-/nanobelt-based two-terminal device can exhibit an ultrahigh real-time response to compressive and tensile strains with a tremendous gauge factor of above 104, high sensitivity, and fast response and recovery. More importantly, the trapped charges can be mechanically excited by stress, and furthermore, the stress-triggered high-resistance state can be well-maintained at room temperature and a relatively low operation bias. However, it can be back to its initial low resistance state by loading a relatively large bias, showing a superior erasable stress memory function with a window of about 103. By an effective construction of trap centers in hybrid composites, not only can an ultrahigh performance of volatile real-time stress sensor be obtained under the synergism of external stress and electric field but also can an outstanding erasable nonvolatile stress memory be successfully realized.

Abstract
Recently, several types of lead halide perovskites have been demonstrated as active layers in resistive switching memory or artificial synaptic devices for neuromorphic computing applications. However, the thermal instability and toxicity of lead halide perovskites severely restricted their further practical applications. Herein, the environmentally friendly and uniform Cs3Cu2I5 perovskite films are introduced to act as the active layer in the Ag/Cs3Cu2I5/ITO memristor. Generally, the Ag ions could react with iodide ions and form AgIx compounds easily, so the Ag/PMMA/Cs3Cu2I5/ITO memristor was designed by employing the ultrathin polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) layer to avoid the direct contact between the top Ag electrode and Cs3Cu2I5 perovskite films. After optimization, the obtained memristor demonstrated bipolar resistive switching with low operating voltage (< ±1 V), large on/off ratio (102), stable endurance (100 cycles), and long retention (>104 s). Additionally, biological synaptic behaviors including long-term potentiation and long-term depression have been investigated. By using the MNIST handwritten recognition data set, the handwritten recognition rate based on experimental data could reach 94%. In conclusion, our work provides the opportunity of exploring the novel application for the development of next-generation neuromorphic computing based on lead-free halide perovskites.
