Abstract

Fluorine-containing 2D polymer (F-2DP) film is a desired system to regulate the charge transport in organic electronics but rather rarely reports due to the limited fluorine-containing building blocks and difficulties in synthesis. Herein, a novel polar molecule with antiparallel columnar stacking is synthesized and further embedded into an F-2DP system to control over the crystallinity of F-2DP film through self-complementary π-electronic forces. The donor-accepter-accepter'-donor' (D-A-A'-D') structure regulates the charge transportation efficiently, inducing multilevel memory behavior through stepwise charge capture and transfer processes. Thus, the device exhibits ternary memory behavior with low threshold voltage (V<sub>th1</sub> of 1.1 V, V<sub>th2</sub> of 2.0 V), clearly distinguishable resistance states (1:10<sup>2</sup>:10<sup>4</sup>) and ternary yield (83%). Furthermore, the stepwise formation of the charge complex endows the device with a wider range to regulate the conductive state, which allows its application in brain-inspired neuromorphic computing. Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology recognition can reach an accuracy of 86%, showing great potential in neuromorphic computing applications in the post-Moore era.
