“…[151][152][153] Natural biomaterials, especially proteins, open up new opportunities for resistive-switching memory devices by endowing them with outstanding properties, such as mechanical fl exibility, biocompatibility, and light-weight, which renders them suitable for applications in biocompatible data-storage devices and biointegrated electronics. [ 32,[159][160][161][162][163][164] Silk protein exhibits more appealing properties compared with other biocompatible materials, such as ferritin, [ 159 ] cellulose, [ 165 ] and DNA, [ 166,167 ] for resistive-switching memory applications duo to its advantageous properties, such as mechanical robustness, fl exibility in thin-fi lm form, optical transparency, and compatibility with aqueous processing. [ 32,168 ] Silk-fi broin fi lms exhibited bipolar memristive switching behavior in a device with an indium tin oxide (ITO)/ fi broin/Al sandwich structure, with an OFF/ON ratio of 10 and retention time of 10 3 s. [ 78 ] The resistive switching of the above memristor was further studied at the microscopic scale, [ 169 ] which revealed that the current conduction process is dominated by fi lamentary conduction during LRS, and trap-assisted current conduction when in the HRS.…”
