Application
Cobalt(II) Phthalocyanine (purified by sublimation) serves multiple purposes in various applications, including the development of advanced materials for electronic and catalytic systems. It is utilized to create carbon black-based electrocatalysts and acts as an end capping agent for hyperbranched poly(aryl ether ketone), aiding in the oxidative decomposition of specific chlorophenols. CoPC-modified carbon paste works as indicators for electrocatalytic amperometric measurements. It also plays a role as a sensitizer when ZnO is impregnated with CoPC, enhancing the photodegradation of cyanide in aqueous solutions. Furthermore, CoPC is used in catalyzing aerobic regenerations of aldehydes and ketones. In the domain of organic electronics, CoPC is a valuable p-type semiconducting material frequently employed in organic light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photovoltaics, field-effect transistors, and chemical sensors, owing to its stability, non-toxicity, and ability to form uniform thin films. These properties make it a cost-effective and adaptable choice for tuning electronic properties through chemical modifications of its macrocyclic structure.
