This study presents a method to enhance data processing by integrating unidirectional analogue artificial neuromorphic memristor device with piezoelectric nanogenerator, taking inspiration from biological information processing. A self-powered resistive memory is proposed, comprising an ITO/ZnO/Yb2O3/Au structure combined high-sensitivity nanogenerator (PENG) ITO/ZnO/Al. The operated at voltage...
