Analog and Digital Bipolar Resistive Switching in Co-Al-Layered Double Hydroxide Memristor.

ABSTRACT: We demonstrate a nonvolatile memristor based on Co-Al-layered double hydroxide (Co-Al LDH). We also introduce a memristor that has a hexazinone-adsorbing Co-Al LDH composite active layer. Memristor characteristics could be modulated by adsorbing hexazinone with Co-Al LDHs in the active layer. While different, Co-Al LDH-based memory devices show gradual current changes, and the memory device with small molecules of adsorbed hexazinone undergo abrupt changes. Both devices demonstrate programmable memory peculiarities. In particular, both memristors show rewritable resistive switching with electrical bistability (>105 s). This research manifests the promising potential of 2D nanocomposite materials for adsorbing electroactive small molecules and rectifying resistive switching properties for memristors, paving a way for design of promising 2D nanocomposite memristors for advanced device applications.
