Halide perovskites, celebrated for their outstanding optoelectronic properties, have enabled breakthroughs in photovoltaics, LEDs, and photodetectors. Beyond these successes, their pronounced ionic activity, often viewed as a limitation, offers unique opportunities for novel device functionalities. In this talk, we explore strategies to modulate and exploit ionic–electronic interactions in halide perovskites for memory and neuromorphic applications. By tailoring material composition and interfaces, we demonstrate memristive behavior in diverse architectures, including perovskite-based LEDs and photovoltaic devices with integrated memory. These systems can perform visual preprocessing tasks such as contrast enhancement and feature extraction, and even emulate artificial neurons, paving the way for highly integrated, multifunctional neuromorphic platforms. Furthermore, we show how controlling ionic effects enables the realization of perovskite-based thin-film transistors (TFTs), expanding their potential for next-generation electronic circuits.
