Abstract
The two-terminal memristor, characterized by their low power consumption, tunable resistance, simple structure, and compatibility with CMOS processes, have found applications in memory storage, logic circuits, and synaptic functions of the simulated human brain. Graphene oxide quantum dots (GO-QDs), a zero-dimensional nanocarbon material, are noted for their low cost and eco-friendliness, making them suitable for electrocatalysis and the fabrication of various optoelectronic devices such as batteries, supercapacitors, and light-emitting diodes. In this paper, we report a two-terminal memristor based on GO-QDs doped with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT-PSS). Through systematic optimization of our experimental protocol, we found that a doping concentration of 60 % resulted in optimal device performance, achieving an ON/OFF current ratio (Ion/off) up to 104 and retention capability lasting up to 104 s. Through the analysis of the optoelectronic properties of the films, fitting of the I-V characteristics, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests, we confirmed that the resistive switching mechanism is the trapping and detrapping process of charge traps induced by PEDOT-PSS or GO-QDs.
