摘要

PBA@ZnO and PBA@CdO nanohybrids were prepared by a straightforward chemical co-precipitation approach, and their structural, chemical composition, and surface morphological architecture were identified by XRD, EDX, SEM, TEM, and AFM techniques. The PBA@CdO exhibited nanofiber structure with large specific surface area compared to PBA@ZnO nanospheres. The hybrid thin films revealed optical absorption within the UV–Vis spectrum characterized by dual energy gap. The electronic properties of PBA@CdO/p-Si Schottky diode demonstrated high rectification ratio \(\left( {{\text{RR}}} \right)\sim \,1744\) RR 1744 and low series resistance in the range of 900 \({\Omega }\) Ω to 1kΩ. In addition to that, the fiber device displayed excellent responsivity and external quantum efficiency than PBA@ZnO/p-Si. The \(\left( {{\text{C}} - {\text{V}}} \right){ }\) C - V measurements demonstrated the significant impact of CdO impurities on improving charge carrier density at the interfacial states leading to highly efficient photodiode.
