Solar generating photogalvanic cell collect the energy from the sun for conversion to electricity. In the present work photogalvanic effect was studied in photogalvanic cell consisting Tween 60 - Biebrich scarlet - Ascorbic acid system. The photopotential, photocurrent and power generated in cell were 919.0 mV, 210.0 mu A and 93.15 mu W respectively. The conversion efficiency and storage capacity reported in this article as 0.8967% and 75.0 mm. respectively. The effects of other parameters on the cell electrical output were investigated and a cell photoreaction mechanism for the generation of the photocurrent has also been proposed. The results also shown the efficiency along with storage performance of a photogalvanic cell based on Tween 60 - Bibrich scarlet - Ascorbic acid system. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
