Different from other members in the carbon material family, graphyne, first synthesized in 2010, has sp hybridized carbons and a natural band gap. According to many studies on optoelectronic devices, the recombination of electrons and holes is an important issue, and the excellent photoelectric properties of graphyne such as high carrier mobility and π-conjugated structure can make it an important candidate material in the fields of photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, batteries, etc. However, there are still problems remaining for the direct application of unmodified graphyne owing to its inert surface and fixed band gap. The high activity of acetylenic bond units in the graphyne provides a good platform for chemical modification and doping. Therefore, the energy band structure and semiconductor performance of graphyne can be regulated by simple solution mixing, hydrothermal reaction, and redox method to achieve material hybridization or hetero atom doping, so that the graphyne will fulfill the requirements of photoelectric devices for a semiconductor material. Many studies have been concentrated on this topic, and numerous achievements have been made over the years. In this review article, the properties and synthesis methods of graphdiyne are firstly introduced, followed by a systematic summary about the mechanism of different atomic doping changes which could help in design of precursor molecules and subsequent synthesis of graphyne derivatives. The promotion effect of graphyne hybridization on charge transfer and its specific mechanism are then detailedly illustrated. The latest research progresses of graphyne and graphyne derivatives in practical applications including photoelectrocatalysis, dye sensitized solar cell, and perovskite solar cell are further discussed, while some problems existing in the current research of this field are also listed. Our review concludes with the proposal that research focuses in the future should be shifted from theoretical calculation to specific experiment and the mechanism in the process requires better understanding, so as to push forward the studies on graphyne and further improve material properties.
