摘要

Two new acetohydrazide zinc porphyrin with different donor units based Mn (II) ion coordination polymers (CPsx, x= 1,2) have been designed, synthesized, and well-characterized. Two coordination polymers and anchor porphyrin (ZnPA) self-assembly by metal-ligand axial coordination to modify the nano-structured TiO2 electrode surface has been investigated in photoelectrochemical device. Our results reveal that the self-assemblies devices show significantly improved photocurrent conversion efficiency. Particularly, CPs1 based solar cell showed higher short circuit current density and conversion efficiency. Their optical performance, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and transient photovoltage decay were also investigated to further understand the photoelectrochemical results. In addition, the assembled modes of the assemblies immobilized on TiO2 electrode surfaces were also verified by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), theory calculations and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX).
