BaMoO{sub 4} powder was prepared by a facile hydrothermal synthesis. And the BaMoO{sub 4}/FTO device was fabricated by a spin-coated method, in which the thickness of BaMoO{sub 4} layer is about 20 µm. The bipolar resistive switching effect has been observed in Ag/BaMoO{sub 4}/FTO device. Moreover, the resistive switching effect of the device is greatly improved by white light irradiation. The resistive switching behavior is explained by the polarization reversal that changes the charge distribution and modulates the Schottky barriers. - Graphical abstract: We fabricate a resistive switching device based on Ag/BaMoO{sub 4}/FTO, the device shows superior white-light controlled bipolar resistive switching memristive characteristics. - Highlights: • The BaMoO{sub 4} nanosquares powder was prepared by a hydrothermal synthesis. • The resistive switching of the Ag/BaMoO{sub 4}/FTO device was observed for the first time. • It is shown that the resistive switching is greatly improved under the white light irradiation. • The mechanism of resistive switching is attributed to the ferroelectric polarization reversal.
