Porphyrin compounds are featured with their planar and conjugated structures. They exhibit good electronic, optical and magnetic properties. Especially, they exhibit excellent light-harvesting character in the visible and near infrared region. In recent years, porphyrin compounds have been extensively studied in the field of organic solar cell, especially in dye-sensitized solar cells for their excellent properties. Modifying the porphyrin molecule to improve the efficiency of the corresponding solar cells, such as the increasing degree of molecular conjugation in the molecule, the introduction of long alkyl chains, the introduction of functional small molecules such as triethylamine and thiophene and so on, and excellent results has been achieved. In addition, the porphyrin compounds in the bulk heterojunction solar cells application is also more extensive. This paper reviews the application of various porphyrin compounds in organic solar cells for the past few years. It mainly focuses on the relationship of porphyrin structures and the performance of solar cells.
