Study of enhanced photogalvanic effect of Naphthol Green B in natural sunlight
The photogalvanic cells based on Naphthol Green B sensitizer-Fructose reductant-Sodium Lauryl Sulphate surfactant has been studied in natural sunlight. The cell has been found workable in natural sunlight with greatly enhanced optimum cell performance. The 1159.2 mu W power, 4500 mu A short-circuit current, 1070 mV open-circuit potential, 14.49% efficiency and 240 min storage capacity (as half change time) has been observed in optimum cell fabrication conditions.
