[Optical and photoelectrochemical properties of Langmuir films of a Zn-complex of ethioporphyrin II].
The optical and photoelectrochemical properties of Zn ethioporphyrin II (ZnEP) Langmuir films deposited on an SnO2-optically transparent electrode were investigated. Absorption and fluorescence spectra were utilized to control the film structure. The main three factors, in our opinion, act on the photovoltage, namely, film thickness, ZnEP aggregate formation and the total ZnEP concentration in the monolayer. It was shown that the photopotential decreases as the amount of ZnEP aggregates in the film decreases, and the photopotential increases with surface pressure transferred to the SnO2 layer; the maximum photopotential is registered in films consisting of three and five layers.
