Studies in the use of toluidine blue-glucose system in a photogalvanic cell

الملخص EN

Toluidine blue (TB) as photosensitizer and glucose as reductant have been used in a photogalvanic cell.

The photopotential and photocurrent generated by this cell were 930 mV and 45 μ A, respectively.

Effect of various parameters on the electrical output of the cell has been studied.

Current voltage (i -V) characteristics of the cell has been also observed and a tentative mechanism for the generation of photocurrent in the photogalvanic cell has been proposed.

Performance of the cell was determined in the dark at its power point.
