Abstract

Photosensitive hybrid layers are obtained by electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole and 3,4‑ethylenedioxythiophene in the presence of water-soluble sodium salt of zinc octa(3′,5′-dicarboxyphenoxy)phthalocyaninate containing 16 ionogenic carboxylate groups. The process of the hybrid layer electrodeposition was found to occur most effectively in galvanostatic and potentiostatic modes on the sublayer of poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene–polyacid complex. The electronic and chemical structure and morpho-logy of the hybrid layers of polypyrrole obtained in the presence of zinc octa(3′,5′-dicarboxyphenoxy)phthalocyaninate were studied. Possible reasons are considered why the measured values of photosensitivity and external quantum yield of charge-carrier generation in polypyrrole–zinc octa(3′,5′-dicarboxyphenoxy)phthalocyaninate are several times higher than in poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene–zinc octa(3′,5′-dicarboxyphenoxy)phthalocyaninate.
