Brain-inspired neuromorphic computing which consist neurons and synapses, with an ability to perform complex information processing has unfolded a new paradigm of computing to overcome the von Neumann bottleneck. Electronic synaptic memristor devices which can compete with the biological synapses are indeed significant for neuromorphic computing. In this work, we demonstrate our efforts to develop and realize the graphene oxide (GO) based memristor device as a synaptic device, which mimic as a biological synapse. Indeed, this device exhibits the essential synaptic learning behavior including analog memory characteristics, potentiation and depression. Furthermore, spike-timing-dependent-plasticity learning rule is mimicked by engineering the pre- and post-synaptic spikes. In addition, non-volatile properties such as endurance, retentivity, multilevel switching of the device are explored. These results suggest that Ag/GO/FTO memristor device would indeed be a potential candidate for future neuromorphic computing applications.
