In this work, photocatalytic reduction of methyl viologen is achieved using zinc tetra(4--methylpyridyl)porphine (ZnP) functionalized mesoporous titania thin films (MTTF). Metalloporphyrins are the core of natural systems that harvest energy from the sun. Thus, a bioinspired approach is used, taking advantage of ZnP sensitizing capabilities and MTTF organized structure.
在这项工作中,使用四(4-甲基吡啶基)锌卟啉(ZnP)功能化的介孔二氧化钛薄膜(MTTF)实现了甲基紫精的光催化还原。金属卟啉是从太阳获取能量的自然系统的核心。因此,采用了一种受生物启发的方法,利用ZnP的敏化能力和MTTF的有序结构。
