Abstract

5,10,15,20-Tetrakis[4-(naphthalen-2-yloxycarbonyl)phenyl]porphyrin (TNBP) and its porphyrin complexes with zinc and cobalt and nanoFe3O4@ZrO2–TNBP photocatalyst were synthesized with high yields and the structure and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis, FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photocatalytic activity was investigated by photo degradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. The results demonstrated that porphyrin significantly enhanced the visible photocatalytic activity of Fe3O4@ZrO2 magnetic nanoparticles in the degradation of methylene blue. The findings also demonstrate that Fe3O4@ZrO2–TNBP photocatalysts exhibited higher photoactivity than bare Fe3O4@ZrO2 nanoparticles under light irradiation.
