Iontronics that are capable of mimicking the functionality of biological systems within an artificial fluidic network have long been pursued for biomedical applications and ion-based intelligence systems. Here, we report on facile and robust realization of iontronic bipolar memristors featuring a three-layer polyelectrolyte gel structure. Significant memristive hysteresis of ion currents was successfully accomplished, and the memory time proved geometrically scalable from 200 to 4000 s. These characteristics were enabled by the ion concentration polarization-induced rectification ratio within the polyelectrolyte gels. The memristors exhibited memory dynamics akin to those observed in unipolar devices, while the bipolar structure notably enabled prolonged memory time and enhanced the ion conductance switching ratio with mesoscale (10-1000 μm) geometry precision. These properties endow the devices with the capability of effective neuromorphic processing with pulse-based input voltage signals. Owing to their simple fabrication process and superior memristive performance, the presented iontronic bipolar memristors are versatile and can be easily integrated into small-scale iontronic circuits, thereby facilitating advanced neuromorphic computing functionalities.

Mesh saliency aims to empower artificial intelligence with strong adaptability to highlight regions that naturally attract visual attention. Existing advances primarily emphasize the crucial role of geometric shapes in determining mesh saliency, but it remains challenging to flexibly sense the unique visual appeal brought by the realism of complex texture patterns. To investigate the interaction between geometric shapes and texture features in visual perception, we establish a comprehensive mesh saliency dataset, capturing saliency distributions for identical 3D models under both non-textured and textured conditions.

The electrochemical reduction reaction of nitrate (NORR) to ammonia is an environmentally friendly approach that can treat wastewater as well as find an alternative to the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process. The use of adhesives partially to adhere to the NORR electrocatalysts, leading to sluggish kinetics, poor stability and poor scalability. Herein, we report the synthesis of PdCu alloy catalysts via a direct laser writing method, demonstrating their exceptional performance in the electrochemical reduction of nitrate.

ConspectusMetal-organic layers (MOLs), as a subclass of two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have gained prominence in materials science by combining the structural versatility of MOFs with the unique physical and chemical properties of 2D materials. MOLs consist of metal oxide clusters connected by organic ligands, forming periodically extended 2D architectures with tunable properties and large surface areas. These characteristics endow MOLs with significant potential for applications in catalysis, sensing, energy storage, and biomedicine.
