Metal Halide Perovskite-Based Memristors for Emerging Memory Applications

There is an increased demand for next-generation memory devices with high density and fast operation speed to replace conventional memory devices. Memristors are promising candidates for next-generation memory devices because of their scalability, stable data retention, low power consumption, and fast operation. Among the various types of memristors, halide perovskites exhibit potential as emerging materials for memristors by using hysteresis based on the movement of defects or ions in halide perovskites. However, research on the implementation of perovskite materials as memristors is in its early stages; some challenges and problems must be solved to enable the practical application of halide perovskites for next-generation memory devices. From this perspective, we highlight the recent progress in memristors that use halide perovskites. Moreover, we introduce a strategy to enhance the performance and analyze the operation mechanism of memory devices that use halide perovskites. Finally, we summarize the challenges in the development of device technology to use halide perovskites in next-generation memory devices.
