Abstract

/Pt structure and verified its potential for application in remote health management and contactless human-machine interfaces. Since GO possesses abundant hydrophilic groups (carbonyl, epoxide, and hydroxyl), the memristor shows a high humidity sensitivity, fast response, and wide response range. By utilizing the proton-modulated redox reaction, humidity exposure to the memristor induces a dynamic change in the switching between high and low resistance states, ensuring essential synaptic learning functions, such as paired-pulse facilitation, spike number-dependent plasticity, and spike amplitude-dependent plasticity. More importantly, based on the humidity-induced salient features originating from the abundant hydrophilic functional groups in GO, we have implemented a noncontact human-machine interface utilizing the respiratory mode in humans, demonstrating the potential of promoting health monitoring applications and effectively blocking virus transmission. In addition, the high recognition accuracy of contactless handwriting in a 5 × 5 array artificial neural network was successfully achieved, which is attributed to the excellent emulated synaptic behaviors. This study provides a feasible method to develop an excellent humidity-sensitive memristor for constructing efficient in-sensor computing for application in health management and contactless human-computer interaction.
