    The implementation of memristors that are wearable and transparent has attracted significant attention. However, the development of high‐performance memristors that simultaneously possess high flexibility and environmental stability has remained a tremendous challenge suffering from limited choice of materials with both good ion‐electron mobility and structural flexibility. Inspired by the unique poly‐ionic nature of ammonium polyphosphate (APP), a novel Au/APP/ITO memristor with favorable flexibility and stability is prepared. Synaptic behaviors can be stimulated by voltage pulses that are 20 ns in width, 0.1 V in amplitude, and repeatable under 104 pulse cycles, thereby outperforming several other benchmark memristors. Further, the device, prepared on conductive silicone, can sustain its synaptic performance even under 360° bending. Furthermore, the device can sustain its synaptic behaviors even after exposure to fire for 60 s and 5.6 kGy of ionic irradiation. Additionally, APP is determined to be nontoxic, biodegradable, and transparent when compared with all the organics and inorganics used in previous memristors. The results of this study will inspire the development of more inorganic polymers for their utilization in future environmentally stable and flexible electronics. Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) can be spin‐coated on various substrates including ITO, conductive silicone, cellulose tape, leaves, and carbon cloth to develop a memristor with a Au/APP/base. In addition, after exposure to fire for 60 s or irradiation of 5.6 kGy, this memristor can sustain its memristive properties. These measurements exhibit biocompatible, wearable, degradable and stable memristive performance.
