Zinc and Aluminum Phthalocyanine Modified Carbon Nanotubes; Preparation and Characterizations

Abstract

In this work, two elements were developed. The first is Multi walled carbon nanotubes-zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPcs). In addition, there was also a development of the multi walled carbon nanotubes-aluminium phthalocyanine hybrid materials. The multi-walled carbon nanotubes were under treated with nitric combined with the sulfuric acid before being mixed with phthalocyanines to de-build the effects. Drop-casting hybrid materials to slides of the glass and interdigitating electrodes from their dimethylformamide solution have been done. The perfect hybridization owing to π-π interaction was discovered. This discovery was assisted by two elements. The first is the ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy. Moreover, another element that played a vital role in this discovery is Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The hybrid films were tested for current-voltage measurements and direct electrical conductivity. This work has also examined how temperature affects direct electrical conductivity and power generation.
