The behavior of photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells composed of SnO/sub 2/ or Pt electrodes with coatings of different phthalocyanines (Pc) -H/sub 2/Pc, ZnPc, MgPc, (CuPc, InPc) 1 was investigated. Spectral sensitization at the Sn0/sub 2//Pc interface leads to photooxidation currents, while efficient photoreduction occurs at the Pc/solution interface through bulk generation of charge carriers. The presence of both anodic and cathodic photocurrents leads to different net photocurrent responses for back and front side illumination, especially with thicker films. The efficiency of the reduction process was sensitive to the potential of the redox couple in solution and maximized when E redox was about 0.37V for N/sub 2/Pc, ZnPc and -MgPc. A dramatic improvement of the photoelectrochemical behavior of the coating results from doping with an electron acceptor (e.g.,o-chloranil) and quantum yields as high a s 4.6% were measured for Pt/H/sub 2/Pc electrodes.
