Background:

Nanofluidic memristors offer low energy consumption and neuromorphic computing potential.
Four theoretical memristor types exist, distinguished by hysteresis loop direction.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate the emergence of all four memristor types in nanofluidic systems.
To identify and investigate the molecular origins of two new memristor types.
To explore the impact of various parameters on memristor behavior.

Main Methods:

Systematic variation of electrolyte composition, pH, voltage frequency, channel material, and height.
Observation and characterization of memristive behaviors in 2D nanochannels.
Development of a minimal mathematical model including ion-ion interactions, surface charge, and channel entrance depletion.

Main Results:

All four theoretical memristor types were successfully realized in nanofluidic systems.
Two novel memristor types were identified in 2D nanochannels with their molecular origins investigated.
A mathematical model accurately reproduced the observed memristive behaviors.
Volatile and non-volatile memory effects, including synaptic short-term depression, were observed.

Conclusions:

Nanofluidic devices can be engineered to exhibit diverse memristive behaviors.
These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying nanofluidic memristors.
Nanofluidic memristors show promise for developing novel neuromorphic architectures for adaptive information processing and pattern recognition.
