Highly dispersible zinc phthalocyanine-silica nanotubes and preparation method therefor

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to highly dispersible zinc phthalocyanine-silica nanotubes and a preparation method thereof. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to highly dispersible zinc phthalocyanine-silica nanotubes capable of improving the dispersibility of zinc phthalocyanine so that the zinc phthalocyanine can be easily absorbed in the body, and to a method of preparing highly dispersible zinc phthalocyanine nanotubes. The present disclosure proposes a highly dispersible zinc phthalocyanine-silica nanotube and a method of preparing sample. The method includes a first step of mixing a template with a alcohol solution to prepare a nanotube solution containing a nanotube template, a second step of adding a zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) solution to the nanotube solution and stirring the resulting mixture to prepare a zinc phthalocyanine-silica nanotube solution, a third step of adding a silica precursor to the zinc phthalocyanine-nanotube solution and stirring the resulting mixture to induce silication, thereby preparing a zinc phthalocyanine-silica nanotube solution, and a fourth step of filtering and drying the zinc phthalocyanine-silica nanotube to prepare zinc phthalocyanine nanotube powder. Further proposed is a method of preparing the zinc phthalocyanine powder.
