Biodegradable electronic devices play a crucial role in addressing the escalating issue of electronic waste accumulation, which poses significant environmental threats. In this investigation, we explored the utilization of a methanol-based extract of the Elaeodendron buchananii plant blended with carboxymethyl cellulose, a biopolymer, to produce a biodegradable and environmentally friendly functional material for a resistive switching memory system using silver and tungsten electrodes. Our analyses revealed that these two materials chemically interacted to generate a perfect composite with near semiconducting optical bandgap (4.01 eV ), surpassing than that of individual materials. The resultant device exhibited O-type memory behavior, with a low ON/OFF ratio, strong endurance (≥ 103 write/erase cycles), and satisfactory (≥ 103) data retention. Furthermore through a comprehensive transport mechanism analysis , we observed the formation of traps in the composite significantly improved conduction in the device. In addition, we established that altering the voltage amplitude modifies the concentration of traps, leading in voltage amplitude driven multiple resistance states. Overall, our findings underscore the potential of functionalizing polymers can be functionalized by incorporating plant extracts, thereby resulting in biodegradable nonvolatile memory devices with promising performance metrics

Resistive switching memory devices based on organic materials are intriguing. These devices are biodegradable and nontoxic to living organisms. In this work, using euphorbia cotinifolia plant extract was investigated for its applicability as an active layer of a resistive switching memory device consisting of silver top electrode and indium-doped tin oxide bottom electrode. This study selected Euphorbia cotinifolia because it is a common, prolific and simple-to-grow plant in many South African homes. When the euphorbia cotinifolia plant is broken, an extract resembling milk is emitted. This extract was collected directly onto the bottom electrode, which was then dried at ambient temperature. For top electrode, silver paste was applied. The entire fabrication process was devoid of heat and electricity. The fabricated device showed impressive properties such as memory hysteresis with [Formula: see text], endurance of over [Formula: see text] write/erase cycles, and an impressive retention of [Formula: see text]. Therefore, this system may be a candidate for a nonvolatile and disposable memory device.
