Abstract

A soluble graphene oxide (GO) covalently functionalized with zinc phthalocyanine (PcZn), GO–PcZn, was synthesized by an amidation reaction. The formation of an amido bond between PcZn and GO has been confirmed by X-ray photoelectron and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. At the same level of linear extinction coefficient, GO–PcZn exhibited much larger nonlinear optical extinction coefficients and broadband optical limiting performance than GO at both 532 and 1064 nm, indicating a remarkable accumulation effect as a result of the covalent link between GO and PcZn.
