The photoelectrochemical properties of phthalocyanine coated tin-oxide (SnO2) electrodes in the presence of several redox couples were investigated. The photovoltaic performances were optimized for Fe(CN)64−/3− and I2/I3− redox couples with respect to concentration, pH, counter electrode, and back contact. Under AM2 solar illumination the SnO2/x-H2Pc Fe(CN)64−/3− cells developed a photocurrent of 0.63 mA/cm2, photovoltage of 0.33 volts, fill factor of 0.25, and a power conversion efficiency of 0.07% to white light irradiation of 75 mW/cm2. The low efficiency of carrier collection was attributed to the high series resistance, surface recombination of carriers, and slow charge exchange at the counter electrode.

The temperature and voltage dependence profile of the surface states (Nss), series resistance (Rs) and electrical conductivity (σ ac ) have been investigated in temperature and voltage ranges of 140–400 K and (-5 V )-(6 V ), respectively. The value of barrier height (BH) decreases with increasing temperature as ΦB(T) = (1.02 - 4×10-4⋅ T ) eV. These values of negative temperature coefficient (-4×10-4 eV ⋅ K -1) is in good agreement with the α of band gap of SiC (-3.1×10-4 eV ⋅ K -1). Capacitance-voltage (C–V) plots for all temperatures show an anomalous peak in the accumulation region because of the effect of series resistance (Rs) and Nss. The effect of Rs and Nss on the C and conductance (G) are found noticeable high especially at low temperatures. The decrease in C values also corresponds to an increase in G/ω values in the accumulation region. In addition, Ln (σ ac ) versus q/kT plots have two straight lines with different slopes which are corresponding to below and above room temperatures for various forward biases which are an evident two valid possible conduction mechanisms. The values of activation energy (Ea) were obtained from the slope of these plots and they changed from 6.3 meV to 4.7 meV below room temperatures and 42.5 meV to 34.4 meV for above room temperatures, respectively.

Pd / Si 0.9 Ge 0.1/ Si Schottky barrier diodes subjected to irradiation are characterized using capacitance and conductance measurements performed under forward and reverse bias while varying the temperature and frequency. The C–V technique has been used in particular to determine the carriers profile as well as the interface state density and its energy distribution.
