Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a novel optoelectronic sensing and memory integrated device, specifically a fiber-like wearable optoelectronic sensing and memory integrated device and its preparation method, belonging to the technical field of optoelectronic materials and functional devices. Background Technology

[0002] Wearable electronics are an attractive emerging platform for close human interaction. Among them, electronic textiles, which can seamlessly connect to the human body, are a natural carrier for artificial intelligence. In human interaction with the outside world, the visual system plays a crucial role, as over 80% of external information is received through our eyes. Current artificial vision systems can continuously and in real-time perceive external image information, but they always generate a large amount of redundant data. Unfortunately, the physical separation of perception and memory units in existing visual systems leads to excessive storage space consumption and high power consumption. In contrast, the human visual system, with its sensory retinal neurons, not only directly responds to light stimuli but also performs first-stage imaging for storage and processing. Therefore, exploring novel, multifunctional devices that integrate visual perception and memory functions holds promise for wearable visual systems, but it remains a significant challenge.

[0003] Previously reported fiber-based photodetectors can sense ultraviolet light signals, but unfortunately, they cannot remember the sensed light signals; that is, their photocurrent disappears instantly when the light is removed. Artificial optoelectronic sensing and memory integrated devices, which can respond to electronic / optical stimuli and simultaneously achieve temporary memory, provide a suitable option for the development of artificial vision systems. In particular, two-terminal optoelectronic sensing and memory integrated devices are considered promising for mimicking biological synaptic behavior due to their simple structure, similar to biological synapses and continuously modulated electrical conductance. However, due to their rigid planar structure, these rigid planar substrates are often attached to rough and easily deformable textiles, resulting in poor performance and even degradation over time; in addition, they inevitably sacrifice the flexibility and breathability of textiles to some extent. As a basic unit of textiles, one-dimensional fibers have many unique advantages, such as light weight, ultra-flexibility, and omnidirectional light absorption, which are of great significance for future electronics; at the same time, with mature weaving technology, they can be further freely woven into breathable textiles. Therefore, developing robust and flexible functional fibers provides a convenient way to achieve high-performance textiles. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a fiber-like device and its fabrication method that can simultaneously respond to light and electrical stimulation and can memorize the sensed light signals, thereby enabling wearable applications that integrate visual perception and memory, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0007] Among them, the n-type TiO 2-x The nanowire array and the p-type MoS2 nanosheet array are in close contact and can form a heterojunction interface.

More importantly, simulations of the "learning-memory-consolidation" behavior under optical signal stimulation cannot be displayed; only a conventional photodetector signal is shown, indicating that the n-type TiO2 is not covered. 2-x Nanowire arrays cannot simulate synapse-related behavior.

[0083] Comparative Example 2

[0084] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that it does not include a MoS2 nanosheet array carbon nanotube fiber electrode, that is, the carbon nanotube fiber electrode is not covered with a p-type MoS2 nanosheet array.

[0085] The final electrical synaptic characteristics test results of the obtained device showed a conventional linear change with no obvious hysteresis curve, indicating that the presence of the p-type molybdenum disulfide nanosheet array is crucial for simulating synaptic behavior. The simulation results of the "learning-memory-consolidation" behavior under optical signal stimulation showed a conventional photodetector signal with no delayed photoconductive effect, indicating that the p-type MoS2 nanosheet array is essential for the formation of the heterojunction.

[0086] In addition, the inventors of this case also conducted experiments with other raw materials, process operations, and process conditions described in this specification, referring to the aforementioned embodiments, and obtained relatively ideal results in all cases.

[0087] It should be understood that the examples described above are merely illustrative of the technical concept and features of the present invention, intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent transformations or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
