Abstract

The photogalvanic effect of photosensitizer - reductant pair, Toluidine Blue-Arabinose and Malachite Green-Arabinose have been studied in presence of anionic surfactant NaLS (sodium lauryl sulphate) and a tentative mechanism has been proposed for the cell reaction. The photopotential ([Delta]V) and photocurrent (isc) were obtained 813.0Â mV and 60.0Â [mu]A in Toluidine Blue system and 348.0Â mV and 36.0Â [mu]A in Malachite Green system. The conversion efficiency and storage capacity of the developed cells were found to be 0.1448% and 123.0Â min, respectively with Toluidine Blue system and 0.0590% and 32.0Â min, respectively with Malachite Green system.
