Photoelectrogenerative cell
A photoelectrogenerative cell is described which includes an anolyte cell and a catholyte cell, with means provided for the transmission of solar radiation into the anolyte cell. The anolyte cell includes an electroconductor solution, along with a photoelectrogenerative compound. The photoelectrogenerative material is dissolved in the electroconductive solution. The catholyte cell comprises an electroconductor in solution, and an electrolytically permeable cell. Isolation separates the anolyte cell from the catholyte cell. Electrically conductive electrodes are immersed in each of the respective anode and cathode compartments, and are arranged in electrical contact with the respective anolytes and catholytes. This photoelectrogenerative cell recovers energy produced by photoelectrochemical reactions when placed in a cell configuration.
