Flexible and degradable resistive switching memory fabricated with sodium alginate

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/abc67a

Abstract Transient electronics has attracted interest as an emerging technology to solve electronic-waste problem, due to its physically vanishing ability in solution. Here in this work, we demonstrate a flexible and degradable transient resistive switching (RS) memory device with simple structure of Cu/sodium alginate (SA)/ITO. The device presents excellent RS characteristics as well as high flexibility, including low operating voltage (<1.5 V) and multilevel RS behavior. No performance degradation occurs after bending the device 50 times. Moreover, our device can be absolutely dissolved in deionized water. The proposed SA-based transient memory device has great potential for the development of green and security memory devices.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
