Abstract

Graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized in our laboratory by the improved Hummer’s method. Reduced graphene oxide/Copper Phthalocyanine (RGO-CuPc) composite was prepared through the chemical reduction of GO by Hydrazine hydrate. This composite was analyzed by FT-IR, UV–vis spectroscopy, FESEM microscopy, and the results showed that CuPc molecules were successfully attached on RGO sheets by π-π intermolecular interaction. Also, UV–vis spectroscopy results showed that the tuning of the bandgap is applicable for RGO-CuPc composite. Sandwich devices of RGO-CuPc thin film with aluminum electrodes (Al/RGO-CuPc/Al) were fabricated to investigate the AC electrical properties of RGO-CuPc composite over the frequency range of 102–105 Hz and temperature range of 298–393 K. The band theory is applicable to explain the thin film conduction mechanism. Also, this composite acts as a semiconductor with high electron mobility.
