In this work, we investigated the effect of organic CuPc coating on the surface of the ZnO NWs for possible improvement in the photoluminescence, photoconductivity and photoresponse. As a result of surface covering, the UV emission is enhanced by a factor of 7–8 while the green emission is reduced to half. Despite an increase in dark current after the CuPc covering, we obtained a significant improvement in the photocurrent and photoresponse rate. The photocurrent-to-dark current ratio is nearly doubled and the photoresponse process becomes faster for the ZnO/CuPc heterostructure. Improvements in the photoluminescence and photoconductivity for the ZnO/CuPc heterostructure are explained on the basis of modification of surface defects and interfacial charge transfer process.
