Honey is not only used for human nutrition but is also being studied lately as a promising biomaterial with potential for use as a sustainable dielectric film in devices [1-2]. We report here the characterization of films made of honey mixed with carbon nanotubes (CNTs), aimed at tunnelable properties of the films for memristor device applications. Tuning the honey-CNT film thickness and the concentration of the CNTs will play a vital role in the performance of the device. While the structural characterization of biomaterials including the honey-CNT films is challenging, we demonstrate a strategic combination of several characterization techniques to systematically investigate the effects of different CNT concentrations in honey-based films and the annealing durations on the structures of the films.The samples were prepared as an admixture of honey, water and CNTs at three concentrations: 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mg/mL. Films were spin-coated on fused-quartz and annealed at 90 C for 0 hrs, 4 hrs, and 12 hrs, respectively. Optical microscopy, laser scanning confocal microscopy (Keyence VK-X3000), and Raman spectroscopy (Horiba Jobin Yvon HR800) were used for characterization.
