Photochemical Studies of Photosensitive Compound in DSS Cell

Abstract

Solar energy is our earth’s primary source of renewable energy. It is one of the most resourceful sources of energy for the future. A technique for converting solar energy into electrical energy via formation of energy rich species that exhibit the photo-solar effect is known as DSS cell. Therefore, the present study of DSS cell of Carbol Fuchsin (PC) with efficiency enhancer chemicals such as TEA reductant in alkaline media are used to observe their photochemical parameters. The observed optimum cell performance in terms of maximum electrical parameters (such as photopotential, photocurrent, short-circuit current, work efficiency and performance) are: 1074 mV, 180 μA, 160 μA, 0.981% and 1.5 h, respectively.

Keywords: DSS cell, Carbol Fuchsin, TEA, short-circuit current
