Popis: Resistance random access memory (RRAM) has attracted considerable scientific and industrial attention as a next-generation data memory system. In this work, zinc–aluminium layered double hydroxide Zn-Al (LDH) films were sequentially prepared by direct deposition on alumina (Al) foil substrate. Further, a sandwich Ag/Zn-Al (LDH)/Al structure was prepared by printing Ag as a top electrode. The device displays a variable OFF/ON resistance ratio (from 104 to 102) due to the stacked, layered structure and interaction of Ag ion and anion inside Zn-Al (LDH) layer. To explain the conductive mechanism, the formation and rupture of nanoscale Ag filament inside the Zn-Al (LDH) vertical nanosheets are recommended to describe the memory performance. This work indicates that Zn-Al (LDH) vertical nanosheets have great potential to be used in flexible memory devices in the near future.
