Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.In this study, a novel 1D lead‐free metal halide, K2CuBr3, composed of earth‐abundant elements, is introduced for resistive switching and artificial synapse devices. With exceptionally low production costs and minimal environmental impact, K2CuBr3 can be a promising candidate for sustainable memory storage and neuromorphic computing.
