Abstract

Dual-terminal memristors have emerged as pivotal candidates for next-generation nonvolatile memory due to their fast switching and low energy consumption. In this study, we fabricated Ag/CeO x /TaO x /FTO and Ag/TaO x /FTO memristors and systematically investigated their resistive switching behaviors and synaptic functionalities. The incorporation of a CeO x interlayer significantly enhances oxygen vacancy concentration, reduces the SET/RESET voltages (0.55 V/–2 V vs 2 V/–3 V for Ag/TaO x /FTO), and broadens the memory window (resistance ratio >100). Moreover, the CeO x layer stabilizes oxygen vacancy migration, achieving excellent endurance (>1000 cycles) and retention stability (CV < 17% over 10 4 s). Notably, the device emulates synaptic plasticity, including long-term potentiation/depression (LTP/LTD), spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), and paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), with high linearity. These advancements position the Ag/CeO x /TaO x /FTO memristor as a promising platform for energy-efficient neuromorphic computing.
