Azur dyes were used with mannitol (MANN) and nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) in photogalvanic cells for the purpose of solar energy conversion and storage. The photocurrents and photopotentials generated by cells containing azur A, mannitol and NTA systems were 80 μA and 347 mV, respectively. The effects of various parameters on the electrical output, the fill factor, the conversion efficiency and the performance of the cells in the dark were studied.
