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.
