Abstract
Herein, the lead-free halide perovskite films with different Cu-to-Ag ratios (Cu3-xAgxSbI6, x = 0, 1, 2, or 3) have been prepared by a spin-coating method at low temperature. The enhanced resistive switching (RS) performance of more uniform SET/RESET voltages and the endurance up to at least 1600 cycles are found in the RS memory with a device structure of Ag/PMMA/Cu2AgSbI6/ITO. The device performance is not degraded under different bending angles and after 103 bending cycles, which is beneficial for flexible memory applications. The appropriately increased activation energy of the perovskites with the partial substitution of Ag atoms, which would lead to a more robust filament formed, is proposed to explain the enhanced RS mechanism. Importantly, the effective size and number of filaments measured by conductive AFM are introduced to confirm the multilevel storage effect of Cu2AgSbI6. The multilevel storage characteristics with four resistance levels are demonstrated by various compliance currents. Moreover, the Cu2AgSbI6 memory devices still exhibit enhanced RS properties and multilevel storage after 75 days of exposure to ambient conditions. Our study provides a strategy for improving the stability and high-density storage applications of halide perovskite RS memory devices.
