Here, resistive switching (RS) devices are fabricated using naturally abundant, nontoxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable biomaterials. For this purpose, 1D chitosan nanofibers (NFs), collagen NFs, and chitosan-collagen NFs are synthesized by using an electrospinning technique. Among different NFs, the collagen-NFs-based device shows promising RS characteristics.

Among these solid electrolytes, lanthanum oxide (La O ) is comparatively less explored for RS applications. Given this, the present work focuses on the electrodeposition of La O switching layers and the investigation of their RS properties for memory and neuromorphic computing applications.

The morphological study confirmed that Ag NPs were immobilized on the surface of PANI, and afterward, Ag NPs-PANI were mixed with the MWCNTs. The X-ray diffraction technique revealed the face-centered cubic structure of Ag NPs, and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study revealed the chemical constituent and signature of π-π* and C-N interactions in the nanocomposites.
