Synthesis and Luminescence Properties of 1,10-Phenanthroline Terbium/Polyvinyl Alcohol Hybrid Functional Materials

Abstract

A series of 1, 10-phenanthroline terbium/ polyvinyl alcohol hybrid materials with different coupling agent contents were prepared by sol-gel method. The morphology and photophysical properties were investigated. FT-IR was applied to characterize the structure of the obtained hybrid material, SEM and fluorescence spectra were applied to characterize the performance of the hybrid material. The result shows that the phase separation processes and the fluorescence quenching were avoided and the optical performance of hybrid materials were improved effectively.
