Perovskite Quantum Dot-Based Memory Technologies: Insights from Emerging Trends

Perovskite quantum dots (PVK QDs) are gaining significant attention as potential materials for next-generation memory devices leveraged by their ion dynamics, quantum confinement, optoelectronic synergy, bandgap tunability, and solution-processable fabrication. In this review paper, we explore the fundamental characteristics of organic/inorganic halide PVK QDs and their role in resistive switching memory architectures. We provide an overview of halide PVK QDs synthesis techniques, switching mechanisms, and recent advancements in memristive applications. Special emphasis is placed on the ionic migration and charge trapping phenomena governing resistive switching, along with the prospects of photonic memory devices that leverage the intrinsic photosensitivity of PVK QDs. Despite their advantages, challenges such as stability, scalability, and environmental concerns remain critical hurdles. We conclude this review with insights into potential strategies for enhancing the reliability and commercial viability of PVK QD-based memory technologies
