Solar fuel generation requires the efficient capture and conversion of visible light. In both natural and artificial systems, molecular sensitizers can be tuned to capture, convert, and transfer visible light energy. We demonstrate that a series of metal-free porphyrins can drive photoelectrochemical water splitting under broadband and red light (λ > 590 nm) illumination in a dye-sensitized TiO2 solar cell. We report the synthesis, spectral, and electrochemical properties of the sensitizers. Despite slow recombination of photoinjected electrons with oxidized porphyrins, photocurrents are low because of low injection yields and slow electron self-exchange between oxidized porphyrins. The free-base porphyrins are stable under conditions of water photoelectrolysis and in some cases photovoltages in excess of 1 V are observed.

H2 production from a water-acetonitrile mixed solution containing iodide electron donor was investigated over dye-sensitized Pt/TiO2 photocatalysts under visible light irradiation, as a part of water splitting system using iodide redox mediator. The rates of H2 evolution were decreased with the increase of the water ratio in the mixed solutions, because of the decrease in energy gap between the redox potential of I3−/I− and the HOMO levels of the dyes, which lowing the efficiency of electron transfer from I− to dye.
