Photogalvanic solar energy conversion: Study with photosensitizers Toluidine Blue and Malachite Green in presence of NaLS

Role of Heterocyclic Dye (Methylene Blue) With Reductant and Micelles in Photogalvanic Cell for Solar Energy Conversion and Storage

“…Some researchers [10][11] have studied on how to enhance the performance and optimum efficiency of dye sensitized solar cell for solar energy conversion. A detailed of literature survey reveals that photogalvanic cell consisting of various dyes with reductant, mixed dyes with reductant and dye with reductant and surfactant for solar energy conversion and storage reported time to time [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Recently some photogalvanic cells are developed by Meena and his co-workers [27][28][29] for generation of electrical energy from various photosensitiser and reductant.…”

The Role of Surfactants in Photogalvanics: Solar Energy Conversion and Storage in the Sodium Lauryl Sulphate–Thymol Blue–Mannose System

“…Recently, Gangotri and Pramilla [26], Genwa and Genwa [27], Genwa et al [28], Gangotri and Gangotri [29], Gangotri et al [30], and Gangotri and Solanki [31] have developed some interesting photogalvanic cells with reasonable electrical output. Different photosensitizers, reductants and surfactants have been used in these photogalvanic cells but the combination of thymol blue (ThB)-mannose-SLS has not been investigated.…”

Studies of the micellar effect on photogalvanics: Solar energy conversion and storage-EDTA-safranine O-DSS system

“…Mukhopadhyay and Bhowmik [17], Gangotri et al [18], Gangotri and Regar [19], Gangotri and Lal [20], John and Ramaraj [21], Krasnoholovets et al [22], Madhwani et al [23], Lal [24], Pramila and Gangotri [25], Genwa and Mahaveer [26,27], Groenen et al [28], Genwa and Khatri [29], Genwa et al [30], Gangotri and Gangotri [31,32] and Dube [33] have recently developed some photogalvanic systems for solar energy conversion and storage. They have used different micellar species, photosensitizers and reductants in photogalvanic cells, but no attention has been paid to the use of the EDTA-safranine O-dioctyl sodium sulphosuccinate (DSS) to enhance the electrical output and performance of the photogalvanic cells with special attention to reduce the cost of the cell to gain commercial viability.…”
