This work presents the deposition and study of the semiconductor behavior of CuBi2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) with an average crystallite size of 24 ± 2 nm embedded in poly(3,4 ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(4-styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) films. The CuBi2O4 NP bandgap was estimated at 1.7 eV, while for the composite film, it was estimated at 2.1 eV, due to PEDOT:PSS and the heterojunction between the polymer and the NPs. The charge transport of the glass/ITO/PEDOT:PSS-CuBi2O4 NP/Ag system was studied under light and dark conditions by means of current–voltage (I–V) characteristic curves. In natural-light conditions, the CuBi2O4 NPs presented electric behavior characterized by three different mechanisms: at low voltages, the behavior follows Ohm’s law; when the voltage increases, charge transport occurs by diffusion between the NP–polymer interfaces; and at higher voltages, it occurs due to the current being dominated by the saturation region. Due to their crystalline structure, their low bandgap in films and the feasibility of integrating them as components in composite films with PEDOT:PSS, CuBi2O4 NPs can be used as parts in optoelectronic devices.

This article presents the results of research output voltage characteristics of solar cells on an organic basis with the use of P3HT: PCBM system. There were produced organic solar cells in a coating in air, current-voltage characteristics were measured. It was determined the characteristic influence of a substrate cleaning and annealing temperature of layers applied on fill factor and conversion efficiency.

AbstractIn this study, the dark current-voltage characteristics of electron-only and hole-only poly(3-hexyl thiophene) (P3HT):[6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) as a function of regioregularity (RR) and annealing time is investigated using the mobility edge (ME) model. This model is used to analyze the degradation of electron and hole mobilities as a function of annealing time for 93%-RR and 98%-RR P3HT:PCBM devices. The hole mobility is almost unchanged by the RR nature of P3HT and thermal annealing. The electron mobility, however, behaves differently after annealing. The electron mobility of 98%-RR devices, which is initially higher than that of the 93%-RR devices, experiences a steep decline with annealing. Based on ME analysis, this is due to an increase in trap states in the exponential tail caused by phase segregation of solid state blends of 98%-RR polymer and PCBM. The electron mobility of 93%-RR devices increases with annealing due to an optimization of nano-phase separated morphology.

We report here the current–voltage (i–V) characteristics of several (n++- Si /MNOPE/ C 60/ Pt -tip) or (n++- Si /MNOPE/SWCNT/ Pt -tip) junctions, where MNOPE = 2'-mononitro-4, 4'-bis(phenylethynyl)-1-phenylenediazonium and SWCNT = single wall carbon nanotube. A layer of C 60 or SWCNT-derivatized MNOPE has strong effect on the i–V behavior of the junctions, including rectification, negative differential resistance (NDR) and switching behaviors. The i–V curve of a grafted molecular monolayer (GMM) of MNOPE atop n++- Si shows NDR behavior, whereas those of C 60- and SWCNT-derivatized GMMs of MNOPE on n++- Si show strong rectifying behavior with opposite rectification polarities. With C 60, larger currents were found with negative tip bias, while with SWCNT, the forward top bias was positive. Because C 60 tends to be a good electron acceptor and SWCNTs tend to be good electron donors, they show different i–V behavior, as observed. Some of the (n++- Si /MNOPE/SWCNT/ Pt -tip) junctions also show reversible bistable switching behavior.

Abstract—Light-emitting organic field-effect transistors (LE-FETs) on the basis of composite films that consist of perovskite nanocrystals (CsPbBr_3) embedded in a matrix of conjugated polymer—polyfluorene (PFO)—have been obtained, and their electrical and optical properties have been investigated. Output and transfer current-voltage characteristics (I-Vs) of FETs based on PFO : CsPbBr_3 films (component ratio 1 : 1) have a slight hysteresis at temperatures of 100–300 K and are characteristic of hole transport. The hole mobility is ∼3.3 and ∼1.9 cm^2/(V s) at the modes of the saturation and low fields, respectively, at 250 K and reaches ∼5 cm^2/(V s) at 100 K. It has been shown that the application of pulsed voltage to LE-FETs based on PFO : CsPbBr_3 can reduce the ionic conductivity and provide electroluminescence in this structure at 300 K.
