Facile fabrication of ultralong organic nanowires with enhanced phosphorescence

Abstract The development of organic micro/nanomaterials plays a major role in emerging organic optoelectronic applications. In the present work, the ultralong organic nanowires with high aspect ratio (>256) were firstly fabricated by a green vapor-solid reaction strategy. The organic nanowires reveal improved phosphorescent performance, which is attributed to high aspect ratio of nanowires, and/or morphological anisotropy of larger bundles made of nanowires. The importance of this work evidences that the vapor-solid reaction can facilely fabricate organic nanowire materials.
