In this present review, we have focused on surveying three physical mechanisms which lead to resistive switching: electrochemical metallization, valence change mechanism, and ferroelectric polarization. A detailed discussion has been carried out on how these physical mechanisms work in various materials used for resistive switching based on nonvolatile random access memory elements such as oxides, ferroelectric, chalcogenides, polymers, graphene-based resistive switching, etc. The desirable electrical and optical properties for the representation of analog resistive switching in neuromorphic computing have also been discussed.

However, real applications of polyelectrolyte-gated wearable OFET sensors are greatly limited by their severe hysteresis, poor stability, and low sensitivity. Here, a facile dielectric interface passivation strategy is developed for improving the performance of flexible OFETs with polyelectrolyte dielectrics towards ultrasensitive pressure sensors in wearable applications. Impressively, low-voltage polyelectrolyte-gated OFETs with negligible hysteresis and high mobility are achieved with beneficial effects of efficient leakage suppression, fine interfacial compatibility, and good resistance to moisture/ion migration induced by a nanoscale thin passivation layer of polystyrene at the polyelectrolyte/semiconductor interface. The OFETs with this novel composite dielectric of polystyrene/polyelectrolyte are further designed into flexible ultrasensitive pressure sensors with an exceptionally high sensitivity of 897.9 kPa<sup>−1</sup> at a low-operating voltage of -2 V. The flexible low-power OFET pressure sensors have good operational stability and can serve as wearable devices to monitor human arm movement. By integrating the OFET sensors as a wearable array, it can effectively detect pressure distribution and achieve high-resolution mapping and tactile imaging, demonstrating their good potentials for electronic skins, wearable technologies and multi-touch applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100893,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Electronics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772949422000018/pdfft?md5=48e3986d31c9895421ea685ad50cbd57&pid=1-s2.0-S2772949422000018-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72115703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
