摘要

Memristors—electronic and ionic elements with memory—have transformed neuromorphic computing, but their extension to practical fluidic systems has been limited to individual or few nanochannels. Here, we demonstrate a macroscale nanofluidic memristor, combining experiments and simulations in a scalable membrane platform. We reveal that asymmetric ion polarization dynamics in nanochannels under AC fields generate memristive response—a prediction confirmed experimentally in a scalable membrane architecture. The macroscopic design exhibits tunable ion transport with programmable on/off states, enabling spike-timing-dependent control of ion fluxes that mimics synaptic plasticity. Beyond neuromorphic behavior, we demonstrate ion-specific chemical sensing and programmable, on demand ion separation. This work bridges nanofluidic phenomena with macroscale functionality, opening avenues for large-area iontronic memory, adaptive filtration, bio-inspired computing, and selective ion detection.
