“…With the appearance of the big data era and the internet of things (IoT), there has been an explosion in global digital information over the past decades. , This huge generation of digital data increases the demand for exploring alternate data storage technology over conventional silicon-based technology because silicon-based semiconducting devices are confronted with the theoretical and physical limits of downscaling. − Due to the von Neumann bottleneck of limited data transfer speed between the separated storage and central processing units and waning off Moore’s law in miniaturization of devices, the search for a next-generation revolutionary memory device with high density and speed is highly essential. , Resistive random access memory (RRAM) shows great promise for the next-generation computing memory storage technology over other memory technologies such as hard disk drives (HDD), static random access memory (SRAM), dynamic random access memory (DRAM), etc. − The RRAM technology, on the basis of change in electrical resistance regulated by the electrical impulse, has become very popular because it has several advantages such as high stacking density and scalability, low power consumption, multilevel storage capability, fast switching speed, and simple metal–insulator–metal (MIM) device structure. − Various types of materials such as oxides, , organic molecules , and polymers, , inorganic–organic composites, , metal chalcogenide quantum dots (QDs), , and transition metal dichalcogenide–rGO composites , exhibited resistive memory switching behavior. Among them, nanocomposites consisting of QDs dispersed in the polymer matrix can provide many advantages over other active materials such as oxides and organic molecules.…”
