Abstract
Our work is focussed on the effect of trap density on the current density−voltage characterization of organic active layers chloro(subphthalocyaninato)boron (SubPc) or fullerene (C60), in which SubPc and C60 were applied as the donor and acceptor materials, respectively. The results show that at high voltage ( > 0.17 V) the trap density affected J−V dramatically. Our results are in good agreement with those by Holmes et al. (Adv Funct Mater 22:617–624, 2012)
