Development of electrical conductivity-based photosensitive switching devices using metal complexes with Schiff base ligands

Abstract

Investigations of the electrical conductivity as well as the charge transportation properties of various types of metal complexes are observed to be an emerging trend in contemporary research. Scientific analyses on the implementation of metal complexes in the fabrication of electrical conductivity based photosensitive switching devices are being carried out by different research groups. But, until now only a few research articles have been reported which are related precisely to this research area. Given the current energy crisis faced by civilization, the development of energy efficient sun light-dependent photosensitive switching devices is a real requirement. Given that the processes of synthesis of Schiff base molecules are uncomplicated as well as cost efficient, the preparation of Schiff base-containing metal complexes is also simple and less expensive. Consequently, large scale production of Schiff base-containing metal complexes along with their industrial execution in the development of photo-switching devices is considered to be highly significant. From this perspective, the recent advancements in the area of research where Schiff base-containing metal complexes have been applied in the fabrication of electrical conductivity-based photosensitive switching devices have been discussed in this review article. It is noteworthy that researchers in the fields of chemistry, physics and material science should benefit from this overview.
