Resistive-switching memories are alternative to Si-based ones, which face scaling and high power consumption issues. Tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) shows reversible, non-volatile resistive switching. Here we report polarity independent ta-C resistive memory devices with graphene-based electrodes. Our devices show ON/OFF resistance ratios  ∼, ten times higher than with metal electrodes, with no increase in switching power, and low power density  ∼14 μW μm−2. We attribute this to a…
