Micron-sized, ultrathin metal–organic framework (MOF) sheet is a two-dimensional (2D) hybrid material with a large specific surface area, which can be used not only in the fields of energy and biomedicine, but also in electrode modification to improve the electrochemical detection effect. In this work, the 2D-structured Co-TCPP(Fe) MOF sheets were synthesized from porphyrin molecules and cobalt ions and then combined with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and perfluorosulfonic acid polymer (Nafion) solution to construct Co-TCPP(Fe)/rGO/Nafion-modified electrodes capable of sensitively capturing dopamine (DA). The 2D ultrathin lamellar structure of this electrode-modified material is beneficial to the formation of π-π stacking effect with DA molecules, and the oxygen-containing groups carried on its surface can also form electrostatic attraction with the amino groups of DA molecules. Therefore, the Co-TCPP(Fe)/rGO/Nafion-modified electrode under the synergistic effect shows a specific adsorption effect on DA molecules, resulting in high anti-interference ability and a low detection limit of 0.014 µM in the concentration range of 0.1–100 µM. Furthermore, the Co-TCPP(Fe)/rGO/Nafion composite material composed of micron-sized, ultrathin lamellar structures also shows high reusability due to the stability of its coordination structure and can demonstrate good results when applied to the actual sample detection of human urine.

The rational design of porphyrin sensitizers is always crucial for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), since the change of only a single atom can have a significant influence on the photovoltaic performance. We incorporated the pyridothiadiazole group, as a stronger electron-withdrawing group, into the commonly well-established skeleton of D-porphyrin-triple bond-acceptor sensitizers by a single atom change for a well-known strong electron-withdrawing benzothiadiazole (BTD) unit as an auxiliary acceptor. The impact of the pyridothiadiazole group on the optical; electrochemical; and photovoltaic properties of D–π–A porphyrin sensitizers was investigated with comparison for a benzothiadiazole-substituted SGT-020 porphyrin. The pyridothiadiazole-substituted SGT-024 porphyrin dye was red-shifted so that the absorption range might be expected to achieve higher light harvest efficiency (LHE) than the SGT-020 porphyrin. However, all the devices were fabricated by utilizing SGT-020 and SGT-024, evaluated and found to achieve a cell efficiency of 10.3% for SGT-020-based DSSC but 4.2% for SGT-024-based DSSC under standard global AM 1.5G solar light conditions. The main reason is the lower charge collection efficiency of SGT-024-based DSSC than SGT-020-based DSSC, which can be attributed to the tilted dye adsorption mode on the TiO2 photoanode. This may allow for faster charge recombination, which eventually leads to lower Jsc, Voc and power conversion efficiency (PCE). Full article
