Abstract:
A visible light active porphyrin-based porous organic polymer having high chemical stability and surface area has been synthesized and its ability to influence the photocatalytic activity of large band gap-TiO2 nanoparticles has been tested. The resultant composite shows improved photocatalytic activity as compared to the parent precursors. This study provides insights into the photosensitizing ability of the polymer in addition to its ability to firmly harbor nanoparticles onto its surface.
