We prepared a nonvolatile memory device that could be reversibly switched between a highand a low open-circuit voltage (Voc) regime. The device iscomposed of a solid electrolyte Li3PO4 film sandwiched between metalLi and Auelectrodes: aLi/Li3PO4/Au heterostructure, which was fabricated at room temperatureon a glass substrate. The bistable states at Voc ∼ 0.7 and∼0.3 V could be reversibly switched by applying an external voltage of 2.0 and 0.18 V,respectively. The formation and deformation of an ultrathin Au–Li alloy at theLi3PO4/Au electrode interface were the origin of the reversible switching
