Artificial synapses are essential building blocks for neuromorphic electronics. Here, solid polymer electrolyte-gated artificial synapses (EGASs) were fabricated using ITO fibers as channels, which possess an ultra-high sensitivity of 5 mV and a long-term memory time exceeding 3 min. Notably, digitally printed ITO-fiber arrays exhibit an ultra-high transmittance of approximately 99.67%. Biological synaptic plasticity, such as excitatory postsynaptic current, paired-pulse facilitation, spike frequency-dependent plasticity, and synaptic potentiation and depression, were successfully mimicked using the EGASs. Based on the synaptic properties of the EGASs, an artificial neural network was constructed to perform supervised learning using the Fashion-MNIST dataset, achieving high pattern recognition rate (82.39%) due to the linear and symmetric synaptic plasticity. This work provides insights into high-sensitivity artificial synapses for future neuromorphic computing.
