Additive engineering leads to stable halide perovskite with bipolar resistive switching behavior
摘要
Halide perovskites have been considered as promising candidates for nonvolatile memory systems, but the specific study of structure–property relationship for such flexible framework is far from satisfied. The employment of bismuth avoids the toxicity of lead and instability of APbX3 structure, a new model of Cs3Bi2Br9 has been developed. The well control of crystal defects is achieved by the addition of low-molecular-weight molecule (citric acid (CA)) during solution phase synthesis. The switching window and device performance are further improved by incorporating Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) into the perovskite layer. Through synergistic additives treatment, the devices demonstrate bipolar resistive switching behavior with low operating voltages (± 0.6 V), significant ON/OFF ratio (104), stable cyclic retention (600 cycles), and prolonged retention times (> 300 s). These results offer new insights for the design of lead-free perovskite memory devices and will be beneficial to optimize the operating processes.
