The objective of the present work is the porous silicon/methylene-blue (PS/MB) nanocomposite fabrication by using the macro-porous and mesoporous silicon substrate in order to be applied for organic solvent detection. The PS/MB formation process was studied PS/MB by using the macroporous silicon substrate by the pH value controlling of the solution moieties. The results showed that the acid condition of the solution compromises the efficiency of the MB adsorption wherever it was necessary to use the buffer in order to control the pH level of the solution. This additional process was a necessary condition because the fresh PS surface had had acid feature because the surface moieties at fresh PS are formed for the highly hydrophobic Si-Hx bonds. The PL spectra results from the PS/MB formed at oxidized PS substrate showed that the PL emission from the adsorbed MB molecules is more intense than the emission from the MB molecules in low concentrated solution. These results suggest that the PS surface and electrons π (in the MB) interaction minimizes the non-radioactive path for the excited state recombination of the MB molecules. Additionally this result showed that the adsorbed MB molecules preserved their molecular identity aging as a monomer moiety. In the case of the MB adsorbed at non-oxidized PS substrate, the PL spectra showed that the MB molecules lost their identity forming possible complex moieties at PS surface. The experimental results of the MB adsorption at the mesoporous silicon surface showed to be more efficient when the solution was ethanol at neutral pH value. The organic vapor ambient monitoring was made throughout the PL emission response of the Ox-PS/MB structure. These results showed that the PL emission had had the characteristic feature for each type of gas used in the experiment. These results showed the high potential application of the Ox-PS/MB structure in the optical nose system.
