초록

The Nile blue has been used as a photosensitizer with Arabinose as a reductant in photogalvanic cell for optimum conversion efficiency and storage capacity. Reduction cost of the photogalvanic cell for commercial utility. The generated photopotential and photocurrent are 816.0 mV and $330.0{\mu}A$ respectively. The maximum power of the cell is $269.30{\mu}W$ where as the observed power at power point is $91.28{\mu}W$. The observed conversion efficiency is 0.6095% and the fill factor 0.2566 has been experimentally found out at the power point of the photogalvanic cell, whereas the absolute value is 1.00. The photogalvanic cell so developed can work for 120.0 minutes in dark if it is irradiated for 200.0 minutes that is the storage capacity of photogalvanic cell is 60.00%. The effects of different parameters on the electrical output of the photogalvanic cell have been observed. A mechanism has also been proposed for the photogeneration of electrical energy.
