“…STT-MRAM has a drawback of reliability, while PCM has a disadvantage of an extensive write latency. Therefore, an alternative of a nonvolatile memory device for the next generation has been proposed by researchers in the form of resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices with the advantages of low power consumption, high scalability, simple structure, easy fabrication, small size, and low cost. ,,− ,,,,− Applications of RRAMs include but are not limited to aerospace, chaotic circuits, − neuromorphic computing, ,− memory devices, ,,− ,,− ,− and logical circuit displays. − RRAMs are usually fabricated as a vertical device with a functional layer of an insulator/semiconductor sandwiched between two metallic electrodes; however, it can also have a planar structure. − RRAMs can be further classified into nonvolatile and volatile memory devices on the basis of applied electric field, because nonvolatile memories can retain data even without the application of an external power supply, while volatile memories cannot retain their stored data in the absence of applied voltage. − RRAMs usually operate reversibly with...…”

Advancement in electronic industry has revolutionized the lifestyle of mankind at the cost of leaving adverse effects on the environment due to the use of toxic and nondegradable functional materials abundantly used in various electronic devices. The use of biomaterials in electronic devices with attractive properties is by far the best solution for protecting our environment from hazardous materials without compromising the growth of the electronic industry. Biomaterials are environmentally friendly and biocompatible with the added advantages of easy processing, transparency, flexibility, abundant resources, sustainability, recyclability, and simple extraction. This Review targets the characteristics, advancements, role, limitations, and prospects of using biomaterials as the functional layer of a resistive random-access memory (RRAM) device with a primary focus on the electronic properties of bio-RRAMs. Among the available memory devices, RRAMs have a huge potential to become the nonvolatile memory of the next generation owing to their simple structure, high scalability, and low power consumption. Applications of using biomaterial-based RRAMs have also been discussed including mimicking the human brain, fabricating wearable memory devices, and implanting bio-RRAMs. The motivation behind this work is to promote the use of biomaterials in electronic devices and attract researchers toward a green solution of hazardous problems associated with the electronic industry.
