Facile fabrication and optoelectronic properties of platinum octaethylporphyrin microsheets†
Abstract
Single-crystal microsheets of platinum octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP) were fabricated by a facile solution process and fully characterized. The as-fabricated microsheets had well-defined shapes and smooth surfaces, and could act as active optical waveguides. The prototype photodetector based on a single microsheet showed high reproducibility and photosensitivity with an Ion/Ioff ratio of ∼500.
