Abstract:
Copper tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine (CuTSPc)-sensitized mesoporous SnO2, namely CuTSPc/SnO2, was prepared by a simple template-free hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, N-2 adsorption-desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and UV-Vis spectroscopy were used to characterize the samples. The photocatalytic activity and circulating degradation rate of the photo,catalysts under low-power visible light ( 15 W) were determined using rhodamine B (RhB) as the objective decomposition substance. It was found that the sulfonated groups of CuTSPc are bonded to the tin ion in a chelating bidentate mode in CuTSPc/SnO2, and the specific surface area and pore size for 0.1 mol% CuTSPc/SnO2 are 236 m(2)/g and 2.6 nm, respectively. The degradation rate of RhB with 0.1 mol% CuTSPc/SnO2, is up to 87% during 180 min of reaction.
