We investigated the electronic and photovoltaic properties of a Cu(II) complex/n-Si heterojunction diode. The ideality factor n and barrier height Φb of the diode were 2.22 and 0.736 eV, respectively. An ideality factor greater than unity indicates that the diode exhibits non-ideal current-voltage behavior. This behavior results from the effect of series resistance and the presence of an interfacial layer. The series resistance and barrier height determined using Norde's method were 6.7 kΩ and 0.77 eV, respectively. The device showed photovoltaic behavior, with a maximum open-circuit voltage of 0.24 V and a short circuit current of 1.7 μA under light of 8 mW/cm2.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesDevicesOrganicsSchottky BarrierSurfaces and InterfacesArticle16411251130Q1Q1
