Weak visible light (∼mW/cm2) organophotocatalysis for mineralization of amine, thiol and aldehyde by biphasic cobalt phthalocyanine/fullerene nanocomposites prepared by wet process

•It is almost quantitatively efficient photocatalytic mineralization by irradiating 600-nm light.•The apparent initial external quantum efficiency of CO2 generation from trimethylamine was close to unity.•The action spectrum of CO2 generation covered almost the full spectrum of visible light.
