Abstract
Advancements in renewable energy technology have been a hot topic in the field of photoresponsive materials for a sustainable community. Organic compounds that function as photoswitches is being researched and developed for use in a variety of energy storage systems. Azobenzene photoswitches can be used to store and release solar energy in solar thermal fuels. This review draws out the significance of azobenzene as photoswitches and its recent advances in solar thermal fuels. The recent developments of nano carbon templated azobenzene, their interactions and the effect of substituents are highlighted. The review also introduces their applications in solar thermal fuels and concludes with the challenges and future scope of the material. The advancements of solar thermal fuels with cost effective and desired optimal properties can be explored by scientists and engineers from different technological backgrounds.

Abstract
New dyes were developed and produced utilizing distinct electron donors (phenothiazine and dibenzofuran), a π-spacer, and an electron acceptor of cyanoacetohydrazide, and their structures were studied using FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. Following the synthesis of dye molecules, the photophysical and photovoltaic characteristics were investigated using experimental and theoretical methods. The photosensitizers have been exposed to electrochemical and optical property experiments in order to study their absorption performance and also molecular orbital energies. The monochromatic optical conversion efficiency of (Z)-N-((5-(10H-phenothiazin-2-yl)furan-2-yl)methylene)-2-cyanoacetohydrazide (PFCH) was found higher than that of (Z)-2-cyano-N'-((5-(dibenzo[b,d]furan-4-yl)furan-2-yl)methylene)acetohydrazide (BFCH), with IPCEs of 58 and 64% for BFCH and PFCH, respectively. According to the photosensitizer molecular energy level diagram, the studied dye molecules have strong thermodynamically advantageous ground and excited-state oxidation potentials for electron injection into the conduction band of titanium oxide. It was observed that the ability to attract electrons correlated favorably with molecular orbital energy. While density functional theory calculations were used to examine molecule geometries, vertical electronic excitations, and frontier molecular orbitals, experimental and computed results were consistent. Natural bond orbital and nonlinear optical properties were also calculated and discussed.
