We use time-dependent density functional theory methods to discuss the absorption spectra, electronic transition properties, and photovoltaic performance of metalloporphyrin鈥損olyoxometalates (POM) complexes for p-type dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The results show that the energy levels of the frontier molecular orbitals for dyes 2鈥?b>6 match the requirements of p-type DSSCs. The absorption spectra of dyes 2鈥?b>6 exhibit larger and broader absorptions compared to that of dye 1 by the introduction of POM. In addition, the photovoltaic performances of dyes 2鈥?b>6 are suitable for high-efficiency DSSCs. This paper is expected to advance the design of metalloporphyrin鈥揚OM hybrid dyes with excellent performance in DSSCs.
