Outstanding Stability and Resistive Switching Performance through Octa-Amino-Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane Modification in Flexible Perovskite Resistive Random-Access Memories.

Resistive random access memory (RRAM) has emerged as a promising candidate for next-generation storage technologies due to its simple structure, high running speed, excellent durability, high integration density, and low power consumption. This paper focuses on the application of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (OIHP) materials in RRAM by introducing an innovative three-dimensional POPA modification strategy, which is realized by binding octa-amine-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (8NH-POSS) onto the side chains of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), thereby enhancing the material's resilience under elevated temperatures and humidity conditions. POPA cross-links with perovskite grains at crystalline boundaries through multiple -NH and -C═O chemical anchoring sites on its branch chain, enhancing the grain adhesion, optimizing the film quality, and improving the cage structure distribution at the perovskite grain boundaries. The experimental results demonstrate that the POPA-modified OIHP RRAM exhibits an excellent resistance switching performance, with an optimal ON/OFF ratio of 5.0 × 10 and a data retention time of 10 s. After 150 days of environmental exposure, the ON/OFF ratio remains at 1.0 × 10, indicating good stability. Furthermore, the POPA modification endows the perovskite film with considerable flexibility, maintaining stable resistance switching performance under various bending radii. This study provides a vital reference for flexible, high-performance, and long-lifespan perovskite memory devices.
