Luminescent Organic Barcode Nanowires for Effective Chemical Sensors

Chemical materials are sometimes harmful to the environment as well as humans, plants, and animals. Thus, high-performance sensor systems have become more important in the past few decades. To achieve pH scale sensing in nanosystems, we applied luminescence polymer nanowires with alumina oxide templ...

To achieve pH scale sensing in nanosystems, we applied luminescence polymer nanowires with alumina oxide template method with electrochemical polymerization. We made polymer nanowire barcode by alternately stacking poly(3-methylthiophene) (P3MT) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) in a nanoporous template.
