Photogalvanic effect of Brilliant Cresyl Blue-Fructose- surfactant-small Pt electrode-artificial light: Simultaneous solar energy conversion and storage

The photogalvanic effect of Brilliant Cresyl Blue-Fructose system is reported in the presence of efficiency enhancer chemical such as surfactant (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and small Pt electrode for solar energy conversion and storage in artificial light. The study has shown enhanced performance in terms of electrical parameters such as maximum power (291.2W), short-circuit current (1,120A), open-circuit potential (1,045mV), efficiency (8.4%), and storage capacity as half change time (140min).
