Alq3 Nanorods: Promising Building Blocks for Optical Devices

Monodisperse Alq3 nanorods with hexagonal‐prism‐like morphology are produced via a facile, emulsion based synthesis route. The photoluminescence of individual nanorods differs from the bulk material. These nanorods are promising building blocks for novel optical devices.
