Nanostructures such as linked-crater structure and highly-oriented line structure were fabricated on an Al surface by combination process of chemical and electrochemical treatments. Conducting polymer polythiophene nanofilm growth on the nanostructured Al surface was conducted by an electrochemical synthetic method. Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) doping in the nanofilm was conducted by a diffusion method. Photoluminescenct properties of the nanostructured Al surfaces and the surfaces topped by the nanofilm and CuPc were investigated. A nanoscale linked crater structure was fabricated on an Al surface by treatment with Semi Clean in order to create crater-shaped erosion on the surface as an initial structure. The successive electrochemical anodization in H2SO4 solution created a nanoscale finer linked-crater structure on the surface. The crater size was estimated as 80-150 nm in diameter. Dynamic force microscopy (DFM) measurements clarified that mall pores with 9 nm in diameter were created in each crater. Regarding the highly-oriented line structure, the anodization process applied to the original fiber-like surface structure on the Al plate. The anodization fabricated the finer line structure on the Al surface. The line distance was estimated as 40 nm. In the case of polythiophene film growth on the linked-crater structure, nanofilm was grown along the crater structure and the secondary structure remained demonstrated by DFM. Photoluminescence measurements on the linked-crater structure showed that five emission peaks appeared while no emission peaks were observed in the case of the original Al surface. Photoluminescence measurements on the polythiophene nanofilm on the linked-crater structure showed that the five emission peaks clearly appeared. The emission wavelengths were shifted. Furthermore, the photoluminescence measurement on the nanofilm doped with CuPc showed that the five emission peaks were enhanced. The photoluminescence measurements clarified that the nanostructured Al surface and the surface topped by nanofilm and CuPc molecules showed the characteristic emission properties for creation of functional hybrid materials.
