Chemical synapse completes the signaling through neurotransmitter-mediated ion flux, the emulation of which has been a long-standing obstacle in neuromorphic exploration. Here, we report metal-organic framework (MOF) nanofluidic synapses in which conjugated MOFs with abundant ionic storage sites underlie the ionic hysteresis and simultaneously serve as catalase mimetics that sensitively respond to neurotransmitter glutamate (Glu). Various neurosynaptic patterns with adaptable weights are realized via Glu-mediated chemical/ionic coupling. In particular, nonlinear Hebbian and anti-Hebbian learning in millisecond time ranges are achieved, akin to those of chemical synapses. Reversible biochemical in-memory encoding via enzymatic Glu clearance is also accomplished. Such results are prerequisites for highly bionic electrolytic computers.
