PEDOT:PSS Wire: A Two-Terminal Synaptic Device for Operation in Electrolyte and Saline Solutions.

ABSTRACT: Synaptic devices, which are designed to emulate the synaptic functions of neurons, have recently gained attention as key elements in the development of neuromorphic hardware. To date, most synaptic devices utilizing conductive polymer materials, particularly poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), have been designed as three-terminal devices. Nevertheless, a recent study revealed that a single PEDOT:PSS wire can function as a two-terminal synaptic device through additional polymerization, which creates asymmetry in the wire diameter between the anode and cathode. Owing to its high biocompatibility, PEDOT is considered a promising candidate for use in clinical information-processing devices. However, previous studies examined the synaptic function of PEDOT:PSS o
