Data for: Neuromorphic functions with a polyelectrolyte-confined fluidic memristor

Reproducing the ion channel-based neural functions with artificial fluidic systems is a long aspirational goal both for neuromorphic computing and biomedical applications. Herein neuromorphic functions are successfully accomplished with polyelectrolyte-confined fluidic memristors (PFMs), in which confined polyelectrolyte-ion interactions contribute to hysteretic ion transport, resulting in ionic memory effects. Various electric pulse patterns are emulated by PFM with ultralow power consumption. Benefiting from the fluidic-based property of PFMs, mimicking chemical-regulated electric pulse is investigated and accomplished. More importantly, chemical-electric signal transduction is implemented based on the specific recognition of PFM. With structural emulation to ion channels, PFM features versatility and easily interfaces with biological systems, paving a way to building neuromorphic devices with advanced functions by introducing rich chemical designs.
