Organic-inorganic halide perovskite (OIHP)-based resistive random-access memory (ReRAM) devices have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation non-volatile memory technologies [1], [2]. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) OIHPs have garnered considerable attention for ReRAM applications owing to their inherent structural tunability and superior environmental stability [3], [4]. In this work, we have demonstrated the resistive switching (RS) characteristics of ReRAM devices fabricated using pure 2D Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskites, namely (TEA)2PbBr4 and (TEA)2PbI4. The devices exhibit stable and reproducible bipolar RS behavior, achieving a high ON/OFF current ratio on the order of 104. Furthermore, the devices demonstrate excellent data retention exceeding 104 seconds and robust endurance performance, sustaining over 200 switching cycles. Additionally, I-V characteristics were analyzed to determine dominant charge transport mechanisms, revealing distinct conduction behaviors and indicating that resistive switching arises from field-induced formation and rupture of conductive filaments. Notably, the devices retain their RS properties for more than 45 days under ambient environmental conditions [5]. These findings highlight the strong potential of 2D RP perovskite-based ReRAMs for reliable, high-performance memory and logic applications in future electronics.
