Photoanode of Photoelectrochemical Biofuel Cell Sensitized by Magnesium Tetraphenylporphyrin

Article Preview

Abstract:

Magnesium tetraphenylporphyrin (MgTPP) had been synthesized with tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) and magnesium acetate according to reported paper. The photoanode of photoelectrochemical biofuel cell (PEBFC) was constructed including TiO2 conductive film and photosensitizer Magnesium Tetraphenylporphyrin. The interaction between MgTPP sensitizer and TiO2 was evaluated by X-ray photoelectron spectra, indicating that the MgTPP adsorbed on TiO2 was easier to accept electrons compared with synthesized MgTPP itself. The spectroscopic properties of synthesized MgTPP and MgTPP-sensitization TiO2 in dichloromethane solution were obtained by Uv-vis absorption spectra, demonstrating that the characteristic absorption peaks of MgTPP on TiO2 displayed slight red shift compared with synthesized MgTPP. The photocurrent action spectrum evidenced that current of the PEBFC originated from MgTPP-sensitization TiO2 photoanode.
