Abstract

CuGeO3 nanoflowers have been synthesized by solvothermal treatment of GeO2 and Cu(CH3COO)2 · H2O in n-heptane solvent without using any surfactants. The influence of temperature and reaction time on the formation of the CuGeO3 nanoflowers has been analyzed. The room temperature photoluminescence spectrum of the CuGeO3 nanoflowers has also been investigated. The synthesized nanoflowers are composed of orthorhombic phase, based on X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy characterizations. The temperature and reaction time have important roles in the formation and size of the CuGeO3 nanoflowers. The room temperature photoluminescence spectrum of the CuGeO3 nanoflowers demonstrates strong blue light emission centered at 421 nm and 488 nm and a poor green light emission centered at 530 nm and 543 nm, suggesting that the CuGeO3 nanoflowers have good optical properties.

Keywords: CuGeO3 nanoflowers; Low temperature; Electron microscopy; Photoluminescence
