Abstract
The photoelectrode process of metal phthalocyanine electrodes was studied in the reaction of hole capture by oxalate ions. The photo-response was explained by assuming that the charge carriers decay in a bimolecular recombination and that the electrochemical reaction rate is proportional to the number of charge carriers. The dependence of the photo-action upon the wavelength of the radiating light was related to the absorption spectra of the metal phthalocyanine.Keywords
