Abstract
This paper describes a new design of the semitransparent photo-electrochemical cells using the orange dye (C17H17N5O2) and NaCl aqueous solutions. In the proposed design, the semi-transparency is realized by fabrication of the light receiving surface using a series of transparent and opaque strips. This new design facilitates the easier fabrication of the semitransparent electrochemical devices. The photoelectrochemical cell showed promising results to be potentially used for the low power energy generation and photo-sensing applications.
