摘要:
Wepropose controlling ion diffusion and electron hopping in apolymer-based resistive switching device consisting of ferrocene (Fc)-containingpolyelectrolyte nanofilms as a switching layer and PEDOT:PSS filmsas a top electrode. The switching layer was fabricated onto ITO electrodesusing the layer-by-layer (LbL) method of Fc-containing branched polyethyleneimine(bPEI-Fc) and poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS). Current-voltagecharacteristics of the ITO|(bPEI-Fc/PSS)( n )|PEDOT:PSS device with a simple sandwich structure exhibited resistiveswitching and short-circuited behavior; the characteristics dependedon the Fc contents and relative humidity. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy measurements indicated that the interdistancebetween nearby Fc units and the polymer segment motion coupled withwater penetration govern the current-voltage characteristics.This study elucidates unique features of polymer-based resistive switchingdevices, paving the way for neuromorphic and wearable electronicsapplications.
