Abstract:
A photoluminescence wavelength tunable material comprises a composite including a graphene oxide layer and metal nanoparticles attached on the graphene oxide layer. The photoluminescence wavelength of the graphene oxide (color of emitted light) can be tuned while a structure and physical properties of the graphene oxide is maintained by boding the metal nanoparticles to the graphene oxide. The photoluminescence wavelength tunable material can be applied to an energy harvesting element such as a solar cell with low loss and high efficiency.
