Structural Modifications and Extended Spectral Response of CeO sub(2)/CoPc Nanocomposites for Potential Applications

CeO sub(2)/CoPc nanocomposites were synthesized by simple chemical method. Thermal behavior of these nanocomposites was studied by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis. The as-synthesized nanocomposite samples were characterized by various techniques. A decrease in band-gap energy together with an improved absorption intensity of the composite material confirms the role of the cobalt phthalocyanine in the absorption properties of CeO sub(2)/CoPc composite. This study confirms structural modifications and extended spectral response of the synthesized CeO sub(2)/CoPc nanocomposites. The results demonstrate that CeO sub(2)/CoPc nanocomposite samples are promising materials for organic light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and optoelectronic devices.
