Abstract

New phenothiazine-based organic dyes with two anchoring groups at 3, 7 positions and systematic alkyl chains on nitrogen were prepared. Their TiO2–Pt composites showed excellent photo-catalytic activities in visible light-induced water splitting. Interestingly, phenothiazine dyes with longer alkyl chains showed better stability in catalytic systems.
