Objective: It is aimed to produce new graphene-based materials with potential used in
biomedical applications.
Method: The new
GO-ZnPc hybrid was obtained by self-assembly method. Sonication was performed
in the formation of hybrid. UV-Vis, emission spectra and scanning
electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize ZnPc-GO hybrid formation.
Results: The GO solutions of different concentrations
(0.0005 µg / mL; 0.005 µg / mL; 0.05 µg / mL; 0.4 µg / mL; 0.7 µg / mL; 1 µg /
mL) prepared by sonication were added to 10 µg / mL ZnPc solution separately
and sonicated again. UV-Vis, emission spectra and scanning
electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize ZnPc-GO hybrid formation. All measurements showed that intermolecular interactions
occurred after mixing the two components together, and the resulting hybrid was
stable.
Conclusions: In
this study, the new ZnPc-GO hybrid prepared and
characterized. ZnPc and GO derivative was observed to well-coordinated. The
obtained hybrid system was observed to have very interesting spectroscopic
properties. It was observed that the GO-based ZnPc hybrid gave an absorption
peak at 716 nm in the UV-Vis spectrum. The redshift observed with the ZnPc-GO
hybrid formation in the UV spectra indicates that this material has the
potential to be used in many biomedical applications, especially in tissue engineering and photodynamic
therapy.
