ABSTRACT
Transforming solar energy into chemical bonds is a promising and viable way to store solar energy. Porphyrins are natural light-capturing antennas, and graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is an effective, artificially synthesized organic semiconductor. Their excellent complementarity has led to a growing number of research papers on porphyrin/g-C3N4 hybrids for solar energy utilization. This review highlights the recent progress in porphyrin/g-C3N4 composites, including (1) porphyrin molecules/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts connected via noncovalent or covalent interactions, and (2) porphyrin-based nanomaterials/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts, such as porphyrin-based MOF/g-C3N4, porphyrin-based COF/g-C3N4, and porphyrin-based assembly/g-C3N4 heterojunction nanostructures. Additionally, the review discusses the versatile applications of these composites, including artificial photosynthesis for hydrogen evolution, CO2 reduction, and pollutant degradation. Lastly, critical summaries and perspectives on the challenges and future directions in this field are also provided.
