An innovative semiconducting Ni(II)-metallogel based robust random access memory (RRAM) device for advanced flexible electronics applications.

ABSTRACT: A highly effective method for creating a supramolecular metallogel of Ni(II) ions (NiA-TA) has been developed in our work. This approach uses benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid as a low molecular weight gelator (LMWG) in DMF solvent. Rheological studies assessed the mechanical properties of the Ni(II)-metallogel, revealing its angular frequency response and thixotropic behaviour. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) showed a complex rocky network structure, while transmission electron microscopy (TEM) identified rod-shaped formations. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) mapping confirmed the chemical composition, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) alongside X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) provided insights into the metallogel's formation mechanism.
