TY - JOUR TI - In-situ synthesis of phthalocyanines on electrospun $TiO_2$nanofiber by solvothermal process for photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue AB - Titanium dioxide/phthalocyanine $(TiO_2 /Pc), TiO_2$ /fluor containing phthalocyanine $(TiO_2 /FPc)$, and $TiO_2$ /fluor containing cobalt phthalocyanine (TiO2 /FCoPc) had been successfully fabricated by a simple combination of phthalocyanines obtained by insitu synthesis on the surface of TiO2 nanofibers prepared by electrospinning. Scanning electron microscopy micrographs and X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the phthalocyanines uniformly immobilized on the surface of $TiO_2$ nanofibers. Photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2, TiO_2 /Pc, TiO_2 /FPc, TiO_2 /FCoPc$ nanofibers for methylene blue in water was comparatively investigated firstly by ultravioletvisible absorption measurements with time, and kinetic parameters were calculated. Results indicated that the obtained $TiO_2 /Pc, TiO_2 / FPc and TiO_2 /FCoPc$ exhibited high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue and $TiO_2 /FCoPc$ was found the best. It showed similar or higher activities than related studies and can be suggested as a promising candidate for environmental and energy applications.
