Abstract

Natural dye sensitized solar cells are one of the efficient third type of solar power generation cells that are generating green energy at low cost. Since no expensive equipment are required in their fabrication. In this paper review of the structure and operation principles of the Punica granatum dye sensitized solar cell is outlined. The main objective of this work is to harness and store the solar energy through natural dye-based Curcumin – Arabinose – Brij-35 photogalvanic cell. The photogalvanic cell in alkaline medium has shown hopeful and very effective improvement in solar energy conversion and storage. This combination of chemicals has shown harnessing of maximum power with a storage capacity as half change time (t1/2) 110 minutes from the 10.4 mWcm-2 artificial and low intense light. In this study the solar conversion efficiency, fill factor, power at power point, open circuit potential and equilibrium current has been observed in the order of 1.17%, 0.1448, 122.40 W, 1024 mV and 825A respectively.
