In particular, the requirement for technology development is growing as conventional storage devices face the physical limitations for scaling down and the data bottleneck that the Von Neumann architecture increases. Among the recent emerging memory devices, the conductive bridge random access memory (CBRAM) has superior switching properties and excellent scalability to be adopted as the next-generation storage device and as the hardware implementation of the neuromorphic computing system. In this review, the previous papers on the resistive switching mechanism of CBRAM and the precedent CBRAM devices exploiting various materials proposed by many research groups are introduced. The principle of CBRAM is discussed including the operation mechanism, switching materials, and the challenges that need to be solved. A wide selection of materials including metal oxides, Chalcogenides, and other non-oxides have been examined as the electrolyte layer of the CBRAM. Various switching materials, device engineering, and material innovation approaches were introduced, and the research results for solving the problems of CBRAM were reviewed in depth.","PeriodicalId":9738,"journal":{"name":"Ceramist","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90483493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have focused on the electricity balance using polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEMFCs) without considering the temperature quality to maintain the environmental conditions required in smart farms. However, this study proposes a system that can provide all four energy sources (electricity, cooling, heating, and CO2) required by smart farms by using solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), which can utilize high-quality heat. To confirm the feasibility of the proposed idea, we demonstrate the world's first 10 kW-class SOFC-based integrated system for a smart farm in Jinju, South Korea. The system's core components consist of a SOFC system, a hot thermal storage system, a cold thermal storage system, and a CO2 supply system. In this study, the applicability of the proposed system is verified by the experimental results of the effective production of cold and hot heat required by smart farms. In addition, the technical problems encountered during the demonstration are presented. In doing so, we suggest the direction of more economical and sustainable SOFC technology development for smart farm applications.","PeriodicalId":9738,"journal":{"name":"Ceramist","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76267160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, realizing p-type oxide thin film transistors (TFTs) whose electrical properties are comparable to n-type oxide TFTs has been challenging. This is because of inherent characteristics of p-type oxide materials such as the high formation energy of native acceptors and high hole effective mass caused by localized hole transport path. Developing a p-type oxide with a delocalized hole transport pathway and low hole formation energy is crucial for the production of CMOS circuits utilizing oxide thin films.

They have one-dimensional fibrous morphology and sub-nanometer scale diameter similar to conventional organic polymers. Furthermore, unlike conventional organic polymers that consist only of organic elements such as C, H, N, O, and S, SCACs are composed of inorganic elements, such as transition metal, chalcogen, and halogen. Therefore, SCACs have novel additional properties, such as electrical, optical, mechanical, and electrochemical properties that conventional organic polymers do not.To investigate the properties of isolated SCAC, the preparation of bulk single crystal with high crystallinity, and strategy for exfoliation are required.
