Abstract: Novel porphyrin-sensitized TiO2 microspheres (APTCPP-MPS- TiO2) were prepared by a sol-gel method and characterized. The photooxidation of α-terpinene was used to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of APTCPP-MPS-TiO2 microspheres under visible light. The microspheres had excellent catalytic activity and stability.
