Abstract: A method of making doped Alq3 nanostructures with enhanced photoluminescence is provided. The method of making doped Alq3 nanostructures with enhanced photoluminescence includes the steps of dissolving tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminum (Alq3) and a metal in water to form a solution. The metal may be terbium (Tb), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), dysprosium (Dy) or europium (Eu), for example. The metal may be provided in a water soluble form, such as chlorides and nitrates thereof. The solution is then subjected to ultrasonic waves (i.e., a sonication bath) for a period of approximately 3 hours to approximately 4 hours. The solution is then dried at a temperature of approximately 50° C. for a period of approximately 8 hours to form a powder of Alq3 doped with the metal. The powder is then formed into nanostructures of the Alq3 doped with the metal.

Abstract: The method of forming carbon nanotubes from carbon-rich fly ash is a chemical vapor deposition-based method for forming carbon nanotubes from recycled carbon-rich fly ash. The method includes first ultrasonically treating the carbon-rich fly ash to produce an ultrafine powdered ash, and then reacting the ultrafine powdered ash in a low pressure chemical vapor deposition reactor to form the carbon nanotubes. The ultrasonic treatment of the carbon-rich fly ash includes the steps of dissolving the carbon-rich fly ash in water to form a solution, then sonicating the solution, separating the ultrafine powdered ash from the solution, and finally drying the ultrafine powdered ash. The method provides for total conversion of the carbon-rich fly ash to carbon nanotubes having a variety of differing diameters and lengths, including multi-walled carbon nanotubes with a high degree of wall graphitization and C?C double bonds stretching at 1635 cm?1.
