Abstract

Aniline blue as a Photosensitizer and EDTA as a reductant were used to study the photo electrochemical cell. The photocurrent and photo potential produced were respectively 1100.0 mV and 350 μA. The maximum power of the cell was 102.85 μW, and the recorded conversion efficiency was 3.95%. The cell had a 0.26 fill factor. In terms of storage (performance), the photo electrochemical cell can operate at this power level for 140.0 minutes. Different parameters effects on the cell electrical output were seen. Here, a mechanism for photocurrent generation in photo electrochemical cells is proposed.
