Abstract

ABSTRACTThe hybrid organic‐inorganic structure based on glass/(TCO)/nanoporous ZnO/poly[2,7‐(9,9‐dioctylfluorene)‐alt‐(5,5′‐bithiophene)]/Ag that was prepared by physical deposition has been investigated. The structure of the nanostructured ZnO obtained by magnetron sputtering was confirmed by X‐ray diffractometry (XRD) and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis proved the existence of short and interconnected zinc oxide (ZnO) fibers, which form a continuous porous network with pores having an average diameter of 100 nm. Current‐voltage (I‐V) curves of the glass/TCO/ZnO/PF‐BT/Ag hybrid structure are similar to those of typical p‐n junctions and stable until 90°C temperature. According to the I‐V characteristics, the dominant mechanism of current flow is based on the generation‐recombination of carriers in the depletion region at low direct biases and also on the injection of carriers at high biases. The reverse branch of the I‐V characteristic, calculated in log‐log scale, shows one segment with a power coefficient of 3/2 at room temperature. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
