Abstract

Summary: Global scientific community is compelled to search out the renewable source of energy to feed the whole world with nonpolluting nature and commercial viability. Solar energy is a favorable option to contribute in fulfilling the energy demand. The main objective of the research is to enhance the solar energy conversion into electricity and store it through photogalvanic cells. The special designed H‐shaped photogalvanic system (PGS) was studied by using resistance key, carbon pot, micro‐ammeter and digital pH meter. The known amount of solution of surfactant, reductant, and dye was used for the cell. The various parameters were studied in a photogalvanic group having d ‐Xylose+MB+Brij‐35+NaLS PGS. The impact of solar energy was studied by varying the various parameters in PGS. The maximum photopotential was observed at 690.00 mV for d ‐Xylose+MB+Brij‐35+NaLS PGS. The maximum photocurrent was observed at 235.00 μA in d ‐Xylose+MB+Brij‐35+NaLS PGS. The d ‐Xylose+MB+Brij‐35+NaLS PGS performance was found at 120.00 minutes in absence of light. The efficiency was observed 0.2812% for d ‐Xylose+MB+Brij‐35+NaLS PGS. The mixed surfactants (Brij‐35+NaLS) in PGS have experimentally proved the efficient system as the desired object of the research with special reference to enhanced electrical out and storage of solar energy. For solar radiation energy transformation, a proposed photochemical mechanism in PG cells is given for current generation. The main focus of investigation was reduction in cost of PGS along with enhancement of electrical output for storage capacity and conversion efficiency. The aim has been achieved by observing the double amount of storage capacity of a mixed surfactant system than a single surfactant system.
