Objective: The present study is focusing on the role of surfactant in photogalvanic cells and how photons from sunlight can be used as a driving force for energy solar energy conversion and storage. Methods: An H shaped cell was designed for study of electrical output in solar transformations. Electrical circuit was proposed by using of dye, reductant, surfactant, NaOH, double distilled water (DDW), multi-meter, calomel electrode, 250 k roistered, saturated calomel electrode, platinum electrode, carbon pot, resistance key, digital pH meter, microammeter, and 200 W tungsten bulb. A detailed reaction mechanism for the proposed photogalvanic cell (PG Cell) for generating photocurrent and photocurrent has been studied. PG Cells were studied for the solar energy transformation system. Findings: PG Cells were studied by using different parameters via photocurrent, photopotential, conversion efficiency, fill factor and cell performance. The above values are as follows: 388.0 □A, 1141.0 mV, 0.7995%, 0.5389 and 129.0 minutes. Electrical output of the cell has also been observed for tartrazine, D-Fructose and lauryl glucoside systems. Potential at power point, Potential at open circuit, power point of cell (pp) and current at short circuit were also studied. The obtained values are as follows: 1133 mV, 1523 mV, 435.321 and 544µA. Novelty: The photogalvanic is an emerging field of research for conversion and storage of solar energy. This study employs lauryl glucoside-tartrazine-D-fructose system for better electrical output which is also an eco-friendly natural dye system. The observed results are better in cell performance (t 1/2 ) and reduction in cost (INR 9531.38 / USD 125) of the photogalvanic cell for its commercial viability.

Actual plan of research work was proposed for systematic investigating in the field of photogalvanic cells for solar energy transformation. It was proposed to carry out experimental work under the solar parameters. The photogalvanic cells (photogalvanics or PG cells) were studied using different electrical outputs via photocurrent, photopotential, conversion efficiency, fill factor and cell performance. The above values are as follows: 385.0 A, 1130.0 mV, 0.7965%, 0.5357 and 120.0 minutes. PG cell containing lauryl glucoside, tartrazine and Dfructose were studied for the solar energy conversion and storage of electrical output. A detailed reaction mechanism for the proposed solar cell for generating photocurrent and photocurrent has been studied.

A primary source of renewable energy is solar energy. This is the one of the most resourceful sources of energy for the future. The photogalvanic cells as described in the present work are energy devices as they provide a route for simultaneous solar power generation and its storage. The study of photogalvanics of Aniline blue dye (photo-sensitizer)- Ascorbic acid (reductant)-Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (surfactant) has been done in basic medium at low intense light with aim of searching relatively proper combination of chemicals like photosensitizer, reductant and surfactant for further increasing the efficiency of these cells. 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 and equilibrium current at 10.4 mWcm-2 have been observed of the order of 2.31%, 0.2445, 130 min, 240.24 W, 1485 mV and 750A respectively.
