Structures and photoluminescence properties of Alq3 1D materials prepared by an extremely facile solution method

Abstract

Ultra-long crystalline Alq3 1 dimensional (1D) materials were prepared by using an extremely facile solution approach without any surfactant, SDS, anti-solvent, or other reagents. The Alq3 1D materials have smooth surfaces and pentagonal or hexagonal cross-sections. The length of the microrods have α-phase crystalline structures. The prepared Alq3 samples exhibit excellent green-light photoluminescence (PL) performance. The growth mechanism of the Alq3 1D structures were discussed. The limitation conditions of the Alq3 microrods were also studied. In addition, the influence of the volume of CHCl3 on the microrods was discussed. This controllable growth method can potentially be extended to other functional organic nanomaterials.
