Abstract

This paper focuses on the fabrication of organic-inorganic composite materials with optoelectronic functionality based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by chemical and physical modifications. The one-dimensionally (1D) ordered composites of rare earth phthalocyanine compounds (RePc2) encapsulated by MWCNTs were obtained using a simple capillary filling method. The CNT-templated assembly of RePc2 nanowires was performed by a phase-separation method. Two other kinds of organic-inorganic 1D-ordered optoelectronic composites were prepared using the template method: coating MWCNTs with a fluorescent poly(tripheny lamine) related co-polymer can be realized via a facile phase-separation strategy: 1D hy brid of bamboo-shaped CNTs covalently bound to RePc2. The relationship between the microstructure of the obtained 1D-ordered composites and optoelectronic properties was studied, and it was found that these ordered composites exhibited enhanced photoconductivity due to the charge transfer between the composite components.
