Recent Progress in Application of Porphyrin-based Metal-organic Framework Materials in Photocatalytic Reactions

Porphyrin-based metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) as a new type of periodic reticular structure materials are composed of porphyrins or metal-based porphyrins as structural unit. Due to the unique advantages of porphyrins in expanding the spectral response range and reducing the recombination of photogenic electron-hole pairs, as well as the advantages of porosity, pore size adjustability and large specific surface area of MOFs, porphyrin-based MOFs have become a new type of photocatalyst with good photoelectric properties. In recent years, many scientists have been concerned on the development and application of porphyrin-based MOFs. Especially, the porphyrin-based MOFs as new photocatalyst become the research hotspot and obtains the gratifying results. In this paper, we mainly review the latest applications of porphyrin-based/metal-based porphyrin-based MOFs in the fields of carbon dioxide reduction, photocatalytic hydrogen production, photodegradation organic dyes. Finally, we present the future development of porphyrin-based MOFs in the field of photocatalysis. © 2019, Editorial Office of FINE CHEMICALS. All right reserved.
