Abstract

The electrical properties of semiconductor and semimetal composites (containing CuPc and different carbon blacks) were described. Their properties may be varied in a wide range, dependently on carbon black type and preparation conditions. We expect that the photovoltaic properties of the materials can be applied for photovoltaic conversion and we discuss possibility of their practical utilisation.
