Exploratory insight into the stability of Rhodamine B and crude aqueous spinach extract-based photogalvanic cells: Comparing photo-stability of electrolytes for solar power and storage

All promising solar cell devices including the photo-galvanic cells have to be sustainable and durable in nature to meet the long-term energy needs of society. Photo-galvanic cells are characterized by the two electrodes dipped in the electrolyte solution (consisting of the dye/pigment photo-sensiti...
