The fast expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is leading to the daily generation of vast data volumes. The traditional computing technologies require high power consumption to process all this amount of data and data centers entail a significant water footprint due to the cooling systems. Also, data generation is expected to grow exponentially and, therefore, more efficient computing platforms to overcome the limitations of traditional computing are needed. Neuromorphic computing has emerged as a promising candidate. This technology aims to emulate the human brain, which is one of the most energy-efficient information processing systems known. This technology relies on electronic elements to mimic neuronal synapses, enabling communication between artificial neurons.1 Among the different candidates, Pb based halide perovskite memristors stand out due to their excellent coupled ionic-electronic conductivity. However, the toxicity of Pb prevents their potential commercial application. Therefore, it is crucial to find Pb-free alternative materials that enable the fabrication of sustainable high-performance memristors.
In this presentation, we will discuss the potential of Pb-free halide perovskite-inspired materials (based on Bi, Ag, and Zn) and organic mixed ionic electronic conducting polymers (OMIECs)2 for the fabrication of efficient and sustainable memristors. We will introduce strategies to enhance the reliability and energy efficiency of the memristors, such as the use of inorganic and organic interfacial buffer layers.3 To assess the potential of the devices, we first investigate the resistive switching and the synaptic-like functions. Also, we confirm their performance and estimate the energy consumption in simulated neural networks for simple neuromorphic applications, such as handwritten image recognition. Overall, our results highlight the potential of Pb-free materials to replace lead-based halide perovskites in memristors towards next-generation sustainable neuromorphic computing.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
