Photogalvanic effect of Brilliant Cresyl Blue–Fructose– surfactant–small Pt electrode-artificial light: Simultaneous solar energy conversion and storage

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe photogalvanic effect of Brilliant Cresyl Blue–Fructose system is reported in the presence of efficiency enhancer chemical such as surfactant (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and small Pt electrode for solar energy conversion and storage in artificial light. The study has shown enhanced performance in terms of electrical parameters such as maximum power (291.2 μW), short-circuit current (1,120 μA), open-circuit potential (1,045 mV), efficiency (8.4%), and storage capacity as half change time (140 min).
