The experimental results indicate that densely and uniformly distributed ZnO nanorods are successfully grown on the PF layer. The thickness of the PF layer plays a dominant role for the current-voltage (I-V) characteristic of the ZnO NRs/PF inorganic-organic hybrid junction device, and a p-n junction with obviously rectifying behavior is achieved with optimal PF layer thickness. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum covering the broad visible range was obtained from the n-ZnO nanorods/p-polyfluorene (PF) structure, which was originated from the combination of the PF-related blue emission and the ZnO-related deep level emission.展开更多
