Zinc and linkage effects of novel porphyrin-containing polyimides on resistor memory behaviors

A new class of porphyrin-containing polyimides, ZnPor-s-DSDA, ZnPor-t-DSDA, Por-s-DSDA and Por-t-DSDA, were synthesized from porphyrin-containing diamines and 3,3′,4,4′-diphenylsulfone tetracarboxylic dianhydride for resistor-type memory applications. The effect of the linkage and zinc metal was investigated by electrochemistry, molecular simulations, and memory behaviors. The memory devices with different retention times derived from polymers ZnPor-s-DSDA (WORM, >3 h) and ZnPor-t-DSDA (DRAM, 30 s) demonstrated the importance of the linkage effect, and the insulation property of polyimides Por-s-DSDA and Por-t-DSDA also implies a crucial memory behavior by metal chelation.

Novel π-extended porphyrin derivatives for use in dye-sensitized solar cells

Two novel donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A type) porphyrin dyes were successfully synthesized and use in a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The molecular structures of both porphyrins are composed of the same dialkyl-substituted diphenylamino unit acting as the donor part, and two bisalkoxyphenyl substituents at the 5,15-meso positions. The acceptor part is composed of different ethyne-linked π-extended bridges, and a cyanoacrylic acid (Dye I) or carboxyphenyl (Dye II) moiety acting as anchoring groups. In order to investigate the effects of including the π-extended bridge between the porphyrin and acceptor unit, two different π-extended bridges such as 2,2′-bithiophene and 2-(phenylethynyl)-thiophene, were employed. In particular, Dye II contains two triple bonds between donor substituted porphyrin and carboxylic acid group. These modifications could potentially reduce dye aggregation on the TiO2 surface. The charge recombination resistance and diffusion length for the cells with Dye II were relatively higher for all the measured ranges of bias potentials, implying that electron recombination loss from injected electrons was highly suppressed when Dye II molecules were adsorbed on the TiO2 surface. Eventually, Dye II containing a 2,2′-bithiophene π-spacer and anchored trough a carboxyphenyl group exhibited a superior power conversion efficiency of 6.7% under AM 1.5 illumination (100 mW.cm-2) in a photoactive area of 0.46 cm2 than Dye I with a 2-(phenylethynyl)thiophene (PCE = 3.5%) anchored through a cyanoacrylic group.

Dye sensitized solar cells: TiO2 sensitization with a bodipy-porphyrin antenna system

A zinc porphyrin derivative (2) and zinc porphyrin-bodipy dyad (3) have been prepared and applied to dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). On the basis of absorption and fluorescence excitation spectra, dyad 3 efficiently transfers energy from the bodipy to zinc porphyrin constituent. The 3-sensitized solar cell demonstrates higher solar spectral coverage, based on incident photon to current efficiency (IPCE) spectra, and an improved power conversion efficiency (η = 1.55%) compared to that of the 2-sensitized cell (η = 0.84%). The better performance of the 3-sensitized cell is attributed largely to the gain in spectral absorbance provided by the bodipy constituent of 3. Also evident, however, are secondary effects reflecting (a) fill-factor improvement and (b) a slight gain in porphyrin red-edge absorbance due to bodipy-conjugate formation.
