Current rectification by H3OUO2PO4·3H2O (HUP) thin films in electrolyte media
Abstract Factors influencing the electrical current rectification by HUP thin films in the generating electrolyte media were studied. Variations of electrolyte concentration, thickness of electrolyte nature, and chemical modification of thin films were evaluated in order to establish the optimization of electrical response. The current-voltage curves were used to obtain the limit intensity of rectification and resistances in depolarizing and hyperpolarizing field. Chemical modifications in the film also allow the current rectification even when no-generating ions are present in the electrolyte solutions.
