Abstract

In this work graphene/metal phthalocyanine hybrid-material, prepared by electrolytic exfoliation of graphite in an electrolyte containing copper phthalocyanine-3,4\´,4"4\´\´\´-tetrasulfonic acid tetrasodium salt (CuPcTS), was studied. The material\´s applicability as optical/electrical sensing material has been investigated. Aqueous dispersions of the material have been used as printing ink and were inkjet printed onto glass substrates to fabricate optical sensing layers. It could be shown that the material is promising for optical sensing applications.
