Nanohybrids from nanotubular J-aggregates and transparent silica nanoshells

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Aug 4;51(60):11980-2. doi: 10.1039/c5cc00901d.

Abstract

Organic-inorganic nanohybrids have been synthesized by in situ coating supramolecular nanotubular J-aggregates with helically wound silica ribbons, reflecting the J-aggregates' superstructure. The J-aggregates retain their morphology and optical properties in the nanohybrids, and display improved stability against elevated temperatures, chemical ambient and photo-bleaching.
