A review paper on two-dimensional material-based hysteretic devices by the JNU research team, led by Prof. Kim Woo-young of Jeju National University (President Kim Il-hwan), was published online on February 22, 2025, after being accepted by Progress in Materials Science (IF: 33.6), a renowned international academic journal.

The paper, with Prof. Kim as the co-corresponding author, resulted from an international collaboration between Khalifa University in the United Arab Emirates, Cambridge University in the United Kingdom, National University of Ireland Maynooth, and Lulea University of Technology in Sweden. It was published under the title ‘2D Materials-Memristor Devices Nexus: From Status Quo to Impending Applications.’

Memristors, unlike resistors—commonly used electronic components—show nonlinear characteristics in response to external voltages and retain their resistance values, making them suitable for high-performance nonvolatile memory, artificial intelligence, and non-Von-Neumann structured neuromorphic computing architectures.

This paper provides a comprehensive discussion on how two-dimensional materials, such as MXene and transition metal chalcogenide compounds, have innovative effects on various studies of memristor devices and presents a roadmap for researchers in the field.

Co-first authors Dr. Muhammad Muqeet Rehman and Dr. Yarjan Abdul Samad stated, "The wafer-scale synthesis of high-quality two-dimensional materials and the optimization of device structures for low-power operation are key. This will enable the development of the best devices to meet the demands of applications such as IoT and wearable devices," while predicting the future of memristors based on two-dimensional materials.
