Polyaniline (PANI) based memristive devices have emerged as promising candidates for hardware implementation of artificial synapses (the key components of neuromorphic systems) due to their high flexibility, low cost, solution processability, three-dimensional stacking capability, and biocompatibility. Here, we report on a way of the significant improvement of the switching rate and endurance of PANI-based memristive devices. The reduction of the PANI active channel dimension leads to the increase in the resistive switching rate by hundreds of times in comparison with the conventional one. The miniaturized memristive device was shown to be stable within at least 104 cyclic switching events between high- A nd low-conductive states with a retention time of at least 103 s. The obtained results make PANI-based memristive devices potentially widely applicable in neuromorphic systems.
