摘要
The ZnO and gallium-doped ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by simple chemical method and used for the fabrication of p-polyaniline/n-ZnO heterostructures devices in which polyaniline was deposited by plasma-enhanced polymerization. The increment in the crystallite sizes of gallium doped ZnO nanoparticles from similar to 21.85 nm to similar to 32.39 nm indicated the incorporation of gallium ion into the ZnO nanoparticles. The surface and structural studies investigated the participation of protonated N atom for the bond formation between polyaniline and gallium-ZnO through partial hydrogen bonding. Compared to a Pt/polyaniline/ZnO diode, the fabricated Pt/polyaniline/gallium-ZnO heterostructure diode exhibited good rectifying behavior with Current-Voltage characteristics of improved saturation current, low ideality factor, and a high barrier height might due to the efficient charge conduction via gallium ion at the junction of the polyaniline/gallium doped-ZnO interface.
