Description
Summary:•The tunable optical property of the Mo6 cluster deposited into an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) film was studied.•The modified photoluminescence peak shape and position depended on different AAO structures.•The photoluminescence (PL) property of the Mo6 cluster was enhanced by more than 300%. The enhanced photoluminescence of the Mo6 cluster was first reported by its incorporation into the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO), a photonic structure to delocalize the emission light. Two AAO structures with different pore sizes, densities, and shapes were controlled by pore widening treatment. The deposition of the negatively charged clusters at the bottom of the ordered AAO resulted in narrowing the PL peak at 680 nm with an enhanced intensity of 230 %. In addition, the disordered AAO supported the deposition of clusters on the surface that efficiently adjusted the shift of the PL peak position, obtaining a high intensity by more than 300 % in comparison with that of clusters deposited on the ITO-coated glass. The cluster-integrated photonic crystal could be an interesting material for applications that require efficient luminescence.
