We have investigated highly flexible memristive devices using reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheet nanocomposites with an embedded GQD Layer. Resistive switching behavior of poly (4-vinylphenol):graphene quantum dot (PVP:GQD) composite and HfOx hybrid bilayer was explored for developing flexible resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices. A composite active layer was designed based on graphene quantum dots, which is a low-dimensional structure, and a heterogeneous active layer of graphene quantum dots was applied to the interfacial defect structure to overcome the limitations. Increasing to 0.3–0.6 wt % PVP-GQD, Vf changed from 2.27–2.74 V. When negative deflection is applied to the lower electrode, electrons travel through the HfOx/ITO interface. In addition, as the PVP-GQD concentration increased, the depth of the interfacial defect decreased, and confirmed the repetition of appropriate electrical properties through Al and HfOx/ITO. The low interfacial defects help electrophoresis of Al+ ions to the PVP GQD layer and the HfOx thin film. A local electric field increase occurred, resulting in the breakage of the conductive filament in the defect.
