Buckybowl‐Based Organic Single‐Crystal Photosynapses: Concave Architecture Inducing High Accuracy in Image Recognition
Researchers have created the first organic single‑crystal photosynaptic transistors using a hetero‑buckybowl molecule (3S‑2Me). The concave architecture enhances oxygen adsorption, inducing persistent photoconductivity that yields over 4000 seconds of non‑volatile current retention and linearly programmable multilevel conductance. These devices demonstrate typical synaptic plasticity and achieve image‑recognition accuracies of 95.2 % on an 8 × 8 pixel array and 94.8 % on a 28 × 28 digit set. The work links molecular design directly to neuromorphic performance.
