Abstract

Bis-(8-hydroxyquinoline) copper nanoribbons with an average width of 400 nm, a thickness of 70 nm and the length of up to tens of micrometers, were synthesized by a facile solvothermal method. X-ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectrum were employed to determine their structure. The photoconductivity of a bundle of nanoribbons was also measured, which exhibited unique photoresponse to light, indicating their potential applications in photoswitch nanodevices in the future.
