Abstract

Nanofluidic memristors are memory resistors based on nanoconfined fluidic systems exhibiting history-dependent ion conductivity. Toward establishing powerful computing systems beyond the Harvard architecture, these ion-based neuromorphic devices attracted enormous research attention owing to the unique characteristics of ion-based conductors. However, the design of nanofluidic memristor is still at a primary state and a systematic guidance on the rational design of nanofluidic system is desperately required for the development of nanofluidic-based neuromorphic devices. Herein, we proposed a systematic review on the history, main mechanism and potential application of nanofluidic memristors in order to give a prospective view on the design principle of memristors based on nanofluidic systems. Furthermore, based on the present status of these devices, some fundamental challenges for this promising area were further discussed to show the possible application of these ion-based devices.

Keywords: ion transport; memristor; nanochannel; nanofluidic; neuromorphic.
