- Description
- This work describes the conjugation of Co, Mn and Fe tetra ethynyl benzyl phthalocyanines to CdTe/ZnS quantum dots via click chemistry. The synthesized conjugates were then immobilised on glassy carbon electrode and their electrocatalytic activity towards hydrogen peroxide oxidation and oxygen reduction investigated. CoPc (1)-QDs showed superior electrocatalytic behaviour towards hydrogen peroxide catalysis with sensitivity of 2.8 × 105 μA/mM and limit of detection of 0.023 μM. On the other hand, FePc(3)-QDs showed the best oxygen reduction activity involving a direct 4-electron mechanism.
