ABSTRACT
Photogalvanic cells are photoelectrochemical cells chargeable in light
for solar energy conversion and storage. They may be energy source
for the future, if their electrical performance is increased. In this study,
a photosensitizer Bismark Browm, and D-Xylose as a reductant have
been used in the photogalvanic cell. The generated photopotential and
photocurrent are 750.0 mV and 275.0 μA respectively. The conversion
efficiency of the cell, fill factor and the cell performance were
observed 1.0157%, 0.2498 sand 140 minutes in dark respectively. The
effects of different parameters on the electrical output of the
photogalvanic cell were observed. A mechanism was proposed for the
photogeneration of electrical energy.
Keywords: Bismark Brown, D-Xylose, Photopotential, Photocurrent, Fill Factor, Conversion Efficiency.
