This materials make it possible to integrate the storage and information processing in a single electronic component making room for neuromorphic computing and edge artificial intelligence (Edge AI) for applications in vision, hearing and bioinspired sensors.
The project proposes a chemical and molecular physics to design low energy artificial synapses with adjustable learning and biologically relevant responses time.

The project develops an experimental platform based on electric devices with adjustable resistance, built form organic and hybrid materials that have been previously used in light-emitting devices, but reoriented towards the exploitation of ionic mobility of inorganic salts in a polymeric matrix as a mechanism for modulating its electrical properties into two-terminal devices.
These systems have a chemically modulable electrical behaviour: the choice of the cation allows to regulate ion mobility and thus, learning speed, memory retention and symmetry of synaptic plasticity.
Furthermore, the incorporation of two-dimensional materials enhances electric conductivity, stabilizes memristive states and reduces power consumption.
The research combines material design, devices manufacture, electrical characterisation and neuromorphic modelling. It aims to develop applications in cognitive hardware, neuromorphic sensors and integrated signal processors.
