Study of Photogalvanic cell for electrical output in solar energy conversion and storage: single surfactant as lauryl glucoside, Tartrazine as a photosensitizer and D-fructose as reductant

Abstract

Actual plan of research work was proposed for systematic investigating in the field of photogalvanic cells for solar energy transformation. It was proposed to carry out experimental work under the solar parameters. The photogalvanic cells (photogalvanics or PG cells) were studied using different electrical outputs via photocurrent, photopotential, conversion efficiency, fill factor and cell performance. The above values are as follows: 385.0 A, 1130.0 mV, 0.7965%, 0.5357 and 120.0 minutes. PG cell containing lauryl glucoside, tartrazine and Dfructose were studied for the solar energy conversion and storage of electrical output. A detailed reaction mechanism for the proposed solar cell for generating photocurrent and photocurrent has been studied.
