Article Abstract

Organic electrochemical transistor (OECT)-based inverter introduces new prospects for energy-efficient brain-inspired artificial intelligence devices. Here, we report single-component OECT-based inverters by incorporating ambipolar p(gDPP-V). Notably, p(gDPP-V) shows state-of-the-art ambipolar OECT performances in both conventional (p/n-type mode transconductance of 29/25 S cm) and vertical (transconductance of 297.2/292.4 μS μm under p/n operation) device architectures. Especially, the resulting highly stable vertical OECT-based inverter shows a high voltage gain of 105 V V under a low driving voltage of 0.8 V. The inverter exhibits undiscovered voltage-regulated dual mode: volatile receptor and nonvolatile synapse. Moreover, applications of physiology signal recording and demonstrations of NAND/NOR logic circuits are investigated within the volatile feature, while neuromorphic simulations with a convolutional neural network and image memorizing capabilities are explored under the nonvolatile behavior. The ambipolar OECT-based inverter, capable of both volatile and nonvolatile operations, provides possibilities for the applications of reconfigurable complementary logic circuits in novel neuromorphic computing paradigms.

Single-component, ultrathin ambipolar organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) combined with multivalued logic (MVL) circuits offer new opportunities for advancing next-generation bioelectronic systems due to their low-power consumption, manufacturing simplicity, and high-density integration, central to which is the evolution of ambipolar organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) as channel materials. However, small-molecule analogues remain unexplored to date for lack of well-defined molecular strategies. Herein, first two acceptor-donor-acceptor-donor-acceptor-type vinyl-linked bis-diketopyrrolopyrrole-core ambipolar small-molecule OMIECs are developed featuring multiple conformational locks.

Degradable features are highly desirable to advance next-generation organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) for transient bioinspired artificial intelligence devices. It is highly challenging that OMIECs exhibit excellent mixed ionic-electronic behavior and show degradability simultaneously. Specially, in OMIECs, doping is often a tradeoff between structural disorder and charge carrier mobilities.

High-performance n-type organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs) are essential for advancing complementary circuits based on organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). Despite significant progress, current n-type OMIECs often exhibit lower transconductance and slower response times compared to their p-type counterparts, limiting the development of OECT-based complementary circuits. Optimizing the conjugated backbone and side chain structures of OMIECs is critical for enhancing both ion and electron transport efficiencies while maintaining a delicate balance between the two.

Circuits based on organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have great potential in the fields of biosensors and artificial neural computation due to their biocompatibility and neural similarity. However, the integration of OECT-based circuits lags far behind other emerging electronics. Here, ternary inverters based on antiambipolar vertical OECTs (vOECTs) and their integration with the establishment of neural networks are demonstrated.
