Construction of novel trimeric π-interaction subphthalocyanine-sensitized titanium dioxide for highly efficient photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants

Recent advances in subphthalocyanines and related subporphyrinoids

“…In this case, the role of the SubPc is to improve the catalytic activity by populating the conduction band of these materials which subsequently produce superoxide or hydroxyl radicals. [497][498][499][500][501][502] This SubPcdoping of TiO 2 has also found to improve the catalytic efficiency in hydrogen generation processes. 503 2.7.3.8 Catalysis in lithium batteries.…”

Novel axial substituted subphthalocyanine sensitized titanium dioxide H12SubPcB‐OPh2OH/TiO2 photocatalyst: Synthesis, density functional theory calculation, and photocatalytic properties

“…[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Among them, TiO 2 is a potential candidate due to its advantages of chemical stability, low cost, high reaction rate, no secondary pollution, nontoxicity, strong oxidation ability, and so forth. [21][22][23][24] However, the photocatalytic technology based on titanium dioxide semiconductor also has problems such as low quantum decomposition, low light utilization, and difficulty in recycling. [25][26][27] In order to overcome these defects, various strategies have been employed to enhance the photoresponse activity of TiO 2 , including metal or nonmetal doping, [28][29][30][31][32] morphology controlling, [33,34] ion implantation, [35,36] photosensitization, [37,38] formation of semiconductor heterojunction, [39] and surface hybridization.…”
