A Blue Photoluminescent Nano Boehmite Prepared by a Solvothermal Reaction of Aluminum Hydroxide Gel in Monoethanolamine at Low Temperature
A blue photoluminescent nano boehmite was prepared by a solvothermal reaction of aluminum hydroxide gel in monoethanolamine (MEA) at a low temperature of 120 degrees C for 6 h; it shows a photoluminescence emission at 420nm with excitation of 360nm that is attributed to the formation of the carbamate derivative of MEA.
