“…[12][13][14][15][16] Solid state junction devices made of silicon are expensive; therefore, low cost solution processed power devices are more suitable for power generation. [17][18][19][20] Recently, Pablo et al have investigated the design and optimization of TEC while considering a flow cell thermocell design. [21] Similarly photo-electrochemical cell (PEC) is solar based renewable energy device which is eco-friendly and uncomplicated that can be used at both small and larger scale as a potential candidate in this regard.…”

“…To facilitate the intramolecular charge transport, they introduced ethynylene to link a porphyrin core with different acceptor units. High PCEs of 7.23 % for 2n with a J SC of 16 mA cm −2 , V OC of 0.71 V, and FF of 0.63 were achieved for the solution-processed BHJ OSC [43]. This value is the highest PCE for solution-processed BHJ OSCs based on porphyrin dyes.…”

Organic solar cells (OSCs) are an emerging alternative photovoltaic technology and thus they have recently gained much attention. In this chapter, recent developments in organic photovoltaic materials, involving small molecule donors and non-fullerene acceptors for vacuum and solution-processed photovoltaic cells, are summarized. A general overview of the structure-property relationships of these organic photovoltaic materials and the design rules for such materials is presented. Critical factors which determined their photophysical properties such as energy levels, absorption, and carrier mobilities are also highlighted.

“…Interestingly, a similar porphyrin monomer synthesized and tested in a porphyrin:PCBM solar cell has achieved a solar conversion efficiency of 7% by using a trans porphyrin configuration with ethynyl substituents, allowing for greater -conjugation between porphyrin and side pyrrole-pyrrole acceptor substituents. 115 This synthetic strategy appears to have great promise for new porphyrin polymers/oligomers and small-molecule devices. For instance, hole mobility measurements made using similar porphyrin systems with similar alkynyl-containing side chains have exhibited carrier mobilities up to 2.57 cm 2 V −1 s −1 .…”

The versatility of porphyrins as optoelectronic or catalytic units makes them attractive elements for inclusion in functional materials. Polymers that include porphyrins have been created with a wide variety of structures and used in a wide range of applications. This review covers recent developments in the synthesis, characterization and applications of polymeric materials in which porphyrins are key components of the repeat units, including the rapidly growing area of metal-organic frameworks and related covalent organic frameworks. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry Keywords: review; porphyrin; metal-organic framework; covalent organic framework PORPHYRINS AS FUNCTIONAL BUILDING BLOCKSThe porphyrin ring and its many structural relatives are common functional units in both natural and synthetic systems (Fig. 1). Porphyrins have a variety of properties that allow them to be useful in applications, especially their broad-ranging optoelectronic and catalytic capabilities. Furthermore, these properties are readily modulated by incorporation of various metals inside the ring or by substituent effects at various locations around the ring. In many cases, nature provides guidance for specific structure-function correlations and applications -the so-called biomimetic approaches. In nature, porphyrin (heme) units are typically embedded in a biological matrix that controls the environment of and access to the porphyrin. In synthetic systems, porphyrins in polymeric matrices have been developed in similar fashion to help control the specific application.In this review, we briefly cite previous reviews and summarize recent results regarding the synthesis, structure, properties and applications of polymeric porphyrins. We only include polymers that contain multiple porphyrin units as an integral part of the polymer, as opposed to polymeric matrices that are simply used to encapsulate individual porphyrin units. We also cover the rapidly growing field of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), where they specifically include porphyrins as a key component of the framework. Structures related to porphyrins (phthalocyanines, corroles, chlorins, etc.) and porphyrin dimers are not covered, but some porphyrin oligomers are discussed; reviews on many of these are available in the comprehensive series Handbook of Porphyrin Science.
