Use of Triton X-100 in a photogalvanic cell for solar energy conversion and storage : thionine-EDTA system

الملخص EN

Thionine, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, and Triton X-100 (Tx) havebeen used as photosensitizer, reductant, and surfactant, respectivelyin a photogalvanic cell for solar energy conversion.

The photocurrentand photopotential generated by this cell were 70.0 muA and 888.0 mV,respectively.

The effect of various parameters on the electrical output of the cell was studied, and current-voltage characteristics of thecell have also been observed.
