ABSTRACT

A photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) is reported using a BODIPY derivative as dye sensitizer and an aqueous solution containing Ferric/ferrous redox couple (F+++/Fe++) as electrolyte. The dye shows good electrochemical and optical properties as evident from cyclic voltammetry and UV-Vis spectroscopy data. The open circuit voltage and short circuit current of the PEC were found to be 181mV and 0.32 μΑ/cm2, respectively under white light illumination having intensity of 1mW/cm2.
