Sevenfold enhancement on porphyrin dye efficiency by coordination of ruthenium polypyridine complexes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sevenfold enhancement of photoconversion efficiency was achieved by incorporation of peripheral ruthenium complexes to a porphyrin dye, generating supramolecular effects capable of playing several key roles (e.g., transferring energy to, inhibiting aggregation, and accepting the hole generated in the porphyrin center after electron injection), providing new insights for the design of better DSSC photosensitizers.

T metal complexes, and particularly ruthenium polypyridine complexes, can be used as catalysts or photocatalysts capable of performing water oxidation [1] or oxidation of organic compounds.[2,3] They can also be used as chromophores to harvest solar energy due to their absorption in the visible region. Therefore, understanding the nature of the electronic excited states in transition-metal comp...
