Supramolecular Framework Constructed by Dendritic Nanopolymer for Stable Flexible Perovskite Resistive Random-Access...

The 3D supramolecular framework (3D-SF) is constructed in this work through the hydrogen bond assisted self-assembly of spherical dendritic nanopolymer to regulate the flexibility, stability, and resistive switching (RS) performance of perovskite resistive random-access memory (RRAM). Herein, the 3D-SF network acts as the perovskite crystallization template to regulate the perovskite crystallization process due to its coordination interaction of functional groups with the perovskite grains, presenting the uniform, pinhole-free, and compact perovskite morphology for stable flexible RRAM. The 3D-SF network in situ stays at the perovskite intergranular boundaries to crosslink the perovskite grains. The RS performance of 3D-SF-modified perovskite RRAM device is evidently improved to the ON/OFF ratio of 10⁵ , the cycle number of 500 times, and the data retention time of 10⁴ s. The 50-days exposure of unencapsulated RRAM device at ambient environment still makes the ON/OFF ratio to be kept at ≈10⁴ , indicating the potential of long-term stable multilevel storage in the high-density data storage. The bending action under different radius also does not change the RS performance due to the excellent bending-resistant ability of 3D-SF-modified perovskite film. This work explores a novel polymer additive strategy to construct the 3D supramolecular framework for stable flexible perovskite optoelectronic devices.
