Organic rectifying junctions fabricated by ionic coupling
Abstract
Ionically-assembled structures that comprise discrete layers of cationic acceptors (4,4′-bipyridinium) and anionic donors (copper phthalocyanine-3,4′,4″,4‴-tetrasulfonate) exhibit asymmetric current–voltage (I–V) characteristics with high rectification ratios of 60–100 at ±1 V.
