Photochemical Study of Surfactant in Solar Cell for Solar Energy Conversion and Storage in Electrical Energy

Abstract

In this,we discuss on four systems namely Rh B – EDTA - Tween80, MB – EDTA -NaLS, Rh 6G – EDTA - CTAB &Safranine - EDTA - ALS. The “Photo voltage”and“photocurrent” in “photo galvanic cell” contains different dyes and reducing agentshave been determined. The photo output with reducing agent ismore than photo sensitizer and surfactant. Photo sensitizer and the various types of surfactant are very useful to raise the “conversion” and “storage capacity” due to formation of micelles in the reacting mixture.The efficiencies of the Rh B-EDTA-Tween80, MB-EDTA-NaLS, Rh 6G-EDTA-CTAB &Safranine-EDTA-ALS are 1.2653%, 1.087%, 1.7663% & 1.286% respectively. The “photo potential” and “photo current” is generated, “conversion efficiency,” “cell power” and “cell performance” of the “photo galvanic cell” was determined and the effect of different parameters on “electrical output” of the cell was observed.
