Abstract
Methods and apparatus for detecting an analyte using fluorinated phthalocyanines is disclosed herein. A method for detecting an analyte includes illuminating an analyte solution which contacts an electrode comprising a conductive material having a photosensitizer coupled thereto to generate a reactive oxygen species, wherein the photosensitizer is a fluorinated pthalocyanine having a metal or a non-metal center, oxidizing an analyte present in the analyte solution with the reactive oxygen species to form an oxidized analyte, and detecting a current resulting from the reduction of the oxidized analyte at the electrode.
