Photocatalytic Characterization of Fluorinated Metal Phthalocyanine/Metal Oxide Hybrid Material Degradation by Reactive Oxygen Species

Abstract

Experimentation with fluorinated metal phthalocyanine and metal oxide nanoparticles (Titania) shows the formation of a hybrid compound with increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as resistance to ROS attack in aqueous solutions. The ultravioletvisible spectrophotometer analysis of methyl orange degradation by the hybrid has shown 90% of methyl orange was degraded by 10 hr while the Titania alone has only degraded 24%.
