Making graphene luminescent by adsorption of an amphiphilic europium complex
2018
We fabricated luminescent chemical vapor deposition-grown monolayer graphene sheets with an adsorbed europium complex, EuLC18, and characterized their luminescence properties. The EuLC18/graphene sheets clearly showed several photoluminescence peaks in a wavelength region from 580 to 694 nm, which were attributed to the ff transitions of the Eu ion. Luminescence was obtained via a photo-antenna effect, in which the ligands of EuLC18 absorbed the photo-excitation energy and transported it to the Eu excitation. Although the absolute luminescence quantum yield of the EuLC18/graphene sheet was as low as 0.5% due to the interaction between graphene and EuLC18, we demonstrated that graphene sheets can be made luminescent simply through adsorption of the luminescent Eu complex on the graphene surface.
