Abstract

The hybrid organic–inorganic halide perovskites are well-known energy storage and harvesting materials. Its applications in brand-new industries are frequently highlighted. The two main issues holding back the development of these perovskites are toxicity and stability. A greener durable option is perovskite, which settles into a stable two-dimensional structure and contains copper in the inorganic cation portion. A new organic–inorganic copper halide perovskite with a direct band gap and two-dimensional Ruddlesden-Popper phase was synthesized as part of the current work. Its structural and morphological characteristics were examined. We inspected the resistance-switching behavior of this material in addition to their structural study since it is crucial for their application in resistive random access memory. The perovskite films were given electrical connections at the top and bottom to evaluate their resistance-switching behavior. Low SET and RESET voltages of 1.7 V and − 2.06 V were shown in response with an ON-OFF ratio of 10\(^4\) to 10\(^5\).
