Use of azine dye as photosensitizer in solar cell : edta-safranine system

الملخص EN

The photogalvanic effect was studied in a photogalvanic cell containing safranine and EDTA as photosensitizer and reductant, respectively.

The photopotential and photocurrent generated by the system were 760 mV and 50 (jA respectively.

The observed conversion efficiency was 0.2618% and the maximum power of the cell was 38.0 (iW.

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