Abstract

The research of new renewable energy sources, which will offer calculable supplies of "pure" energy for the future, it is one of the biggest and the most important challenges of our society, as it becomes of major importance for the planet. Therefore, the development of new suitable materials designed in order to transform and storage of solar energy is important and necessary. Emulating the operation of photosynthesis, solar energy can be applied to solar cells and photocatalytic H2 production. Towards this, the use of environmentally friendly water-soluble molecular models of natural chlorophyll, is a challenge both for applications in organic solar cells and the study of their photocatalytic action. The present thesis deals with the synthesis and characterization of water-soluble porphyrin complexes. The aim of this study is to use those porphyrin complexes as dyes in organic solar cells. Specifically, examines the change of the efficiency as porphyrin complexes are incorporated in the cathode solar cell bulk heterojunction. Additionally, it contains a study of a photocatalytic system, a partially water-soluble tin porphyrin as a photosensitizer and various cobalt catalysts. The goal once again is to define the most appropriate conditions for the production of H₂.
