Electrocatalytic proton reduction by zincphthalocyanine in nafion and poly(4‐vinylpyridine‐co‐styrene)matrices

Theoretical studies of zinc phthalocyanine monomer, dimer and trimer forms

“…Recently, a new series of applications have been discovered, leading to their use in different areas: photodynamic therapy (PDT) [1][2][3][4], corrosion inhibitors [5], antimycotic materials [6], solar cell functional materials [7,8], non-linear optical limiting devices [9][10][11][12][13][14][15], laser printers and materials for optical storage [16][17][18][19], electro-optics [20], electro-catalysts [21], sensors [22,23], displays [24] and others applications. Zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) has been extensively studied due to the fact that the d 10 configuration of the central Zn 2+ ion results in optical spectra which is less complicated than others transition-metal phthalocyanines.…”

Polymer coordination promotes selective CO 2 reduction by cobalt phthalocyanine

“…Though polymer encapsulation is a common way of immobilizing molecular catalysts onto an electrode surface, 19 , 41 , 55 – 64 the use of a polymer membrane that offers this combination of properties is rare. 25 , 39 , 48 , 56 , 65 – 69 …”

Dye adsorption, desorption, and distribution in mesoporous TiO2 films, and its effects on recombination losses in dye sensitized solar cells

“…For example, zinc phthalocyanine, a dye heavily researched in DSSCs, has been studied as a proton reduction catalyst. 67 In addition, many if not most, dyes have some affinity for iodine and/or I 3 À . Thus, at the same time as the dye layer restricts access of the acceptor directly to the TiO 2 surface, it can increase the concentration of acceptor a short distance from the TiO 2 surface.…”
