- Description
- Conjugates of zinc octacarboxy phthalocyanine (ZnOCPc) with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were electrospun into fibers using polyamide-6 (PA-6) polymer. The ZnOCPc or ZnOCPc-MNPs conjugates on the fiber were employed for the photodegradation of an azo dye (Orange-G). The functionality of the ZnOCPc and ZnOCPc-MNPs was maintained within a solid fiber core. The singlet oxygen generation increases as we increase the fiber diameter by increasing the ZnOCPc concentration. The singlet oxygen quantum yield was higher for PA-6/ZnOCPc-MNPs nanofibers compared to PA-6/ZnOCPc. The rate of degradation of Orange-G increased with an increase in singlet oxygen quantum yield. Moreover, the kinetic analysis of the photodecomposition of Orange-G showed that its disappearance followed the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model.
