Conjugated Porphyrin Materials for Solar Fuel Generation

Abstract: Conjugated materials have emerged as a new class of photocatalysts for solar fuel generation, thus allowing the Sun’s energy to be converted into storable that can used without further emissions at point use. Many different building blocks been make conjugated act efficient light absorption and tuing photophysical properties. The porphyrin moiety is very interesting block large π-conjugated system allows absorption. Metalation porphyrins tuning materials’ properties, expanding property space these cover. This design better control over properties materials, which discussed in this review together with state-of-the-art hybrid systems.
