Role of reductant and photosensitizers in solar energy conversion and storage : oxalic acid-brilliant cresyl system

الملخص EN

Photo–galvanic effects were studied in a photo–galvanic cell containing oxalic acid as reductant and Brilliant Cresyl as photosensitizers.

The photo-potential and photocurrent generated were 320.0 mV and 80.0 µA, respectively.

The effects of different parameters on the electrical output of the cell were observed and a mechanism has also been proposed for the generation of a photocurrent in a photo–galvanic cell.
