Abstract

In this communication, we have investigated the arginine-induced fabrication of porphyrin (TCPP)-based supramolecular nanostructures. These self-assembled porphyrin nanostructures such as nanobelts show enhanced photocatalytic activity for the photodegradation of pollutant Rhodamine B under simulated visible-light irradiation.
