Memristive devices fabricated by solution-processing methods can be integrated into a wide variety of large-area substrates, which has motivated their use in applications requiring flexible, stretchable, transparent and biocompatible devices. Several studies on solution-processed memristors have claimed excellent electrical performance; however, in many cases such claims are based on scarce measurements conducted on only one device, using unreliable testing protocols or using device structures that are too large for the target applications. Understanding the reliability of a memristive structure is important to avoid hyped expectations, attract potential investments in such technology, and realistically understand its potential impact on society and on the market. In this Perspective, we analyse which solution-processed memristors have so far exhibited the highest and most reliable electronic performance, irrespective of the type of material used and the application targeted. For that group of memristors, we also discuss the switching mechanism and potential applications, as well as possible improvements in terms of device technology. We describe the outlook of this field with aims of increasing the impact and technology readiness of solution-processed memristors. Memristive devices are emerging within the semiconductor industry. Solution-processed memristors present alternatives for flexible, transparent and low-cost applications. This Perspective reviews solution-processed memristors focusing on the reliability of their electrical performance, aiming to increase impact and technology readiness.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"9 5","pages":"358-373"},"PeriodicalIF":83.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140550484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interlayer interactions or hybridization in these systems non-trivially impact their physical characteristics and are sensitive to a complex set of interdependent, externally tunable parameters. There lacks a coherent perspective on how these external stimuli can be used together to engineer materials with desired properties. Here, we systematically address how interlayer hybridization in semiconducting vdW bilayers can be controlled for the realization of different properties in vertically stacked structures. We also discuss new research directions to engineer the interactions beyond bilayers and highlight opportunities that arise when different tuning parameters are simultaneously coupled. Interlayer hybridization in van der Waals stacks is key to understanding their physical properties. This Perspective article discusses the various parameters influencing interlayer hybridization and how they can be controlled, providing a comprehensive guide for designing materials with desired properties.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"9 7","pages":"499-508"},"PeriodicalIF":79.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140538264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These batteries are subject to external pressure during both their manufacturing processes (fabrication pressure) and their operation (stack pressure). This pressure not only affects the intrinsic properties of both the electrolytes (such as ionic conductivity and electrochemical voltage window) and the electrodes (such as ion transport and structural variation) but also determines the cyclability and safety of the whole battery. Hence, understanding the effect of pressure is essential when designing high-performance SSLBs. This Review aims to elucidate the coupling between external pressure and electrochemistry in these batteries. We summarize the effects of external pressure on SSEs and electrodes, and on the interfaces between the components. We analyse the overall electrochemical performance and safety of the batteries under external pressure. Finally, we clarify the dominant challenges in achieving pressure-proof and low-pressure SSLBs, laying out a perspective for future breakthroughs. Solid-state lithium metal batteries have the potential to meet energy density and safety requirements that current commercial Li-ion batteries cannot. Given their solid-state components, these batteries are subject to — and strongly affected by — external pressure during their manufacturing and operation. This Review examines the relationship between external pressure and electrochemical behaviour in these batteries.","PeriodicalId":19081,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Materials","volume":"9 5","pages":"305-320"},"PeriodicalIF":83.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140346342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
