Abstract

Rising concerns about climate change, the health effects of air pollution, energy security and energy access, along with volatile oil prices in recent decades, have led to the need to produce and use alternative, low-carbon technology options such as renewable. The photogalvanic cells as described in the present article are promising energy devices as they provide for a route for simultaneous solar power generation and its storage. The study of photogalvanics of Bromocresol - EDTA - Tween 80 has been studied in alkaline medium at low intense light with aim of searching relatively proper combination of chemicals like photosensitizer, reductant and surfactant for further enhancing the efficiency of PG cell. The best conditions for cell have also been observed for optimal cell performance. The solar conversion efficiency, fill factor, cell performance (as t1/2), power at power point, open circuit potential, equilibrium current and charging time at 10.4 mWcm-2 has been observed of the order of 0.96%, 0.1448, 100 minutes, 100.13 W, 887 mV, 748 A and 75 minutes respectively.
