Effect of functional groups on microporous polymer based resistance switching memory devices
Summary
Two large-area microporous polymer films were synthesized, showing significant differences in memristor performance due to varied substituents, band gaps, and pore environments.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science
- Polymer Chemistry
- Nanotechnology
Background:
- Microporous polymers (MP) are crucial for advanced electronic devices.
- Memristors require precise control over material properties for optimal performance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To synthesize large-area microporous polymer films with varying substituents.
- To investigate the impact of these substituents on memristor device characteristics.
Main Methods:
- Solution/air interface synthesis of two distinct microporous polymer films.
- Fabrication and characterization of memristor devices using these films.
Main Results:
- Synthesized MP films exhibited different substituent effects.
- MP-based memristors showed an order of magnitude difference in on/off ratios.
- Turn-on voltages varied by approximately 0.2 V between devices.
Conclusions:
- Substituent-induced differences in band gap and pore environment significantly influence memristor performance.
- Tailoring polymer structure is key to optimizing memristor characteristics.
