Use of anionic micelles in photogalvanic cells for solar energy conversion and storage dioctylsulfosuccinate-mannitol-safranine system
The photogalvanic cell containing dioctylsulfosuccinate micellar species, mannitol as an electron donar and safranine as photosensitizer has been used for solar energy conversion and storage. The electrical output of the cell was 870.0 mV asphotopotential 150.0 mu A as photocurrentand 130.5 jt mu W as power at power point of the cell. The currentvoltage characteristics ofthe cell have been studied, and observed conversion efficiency was 0. 7603%; determine fill factor was 0.50. The performance of the cell in dark was 40.0 minutes.
