The effects of various parameters like pH, Diffusion length, electrode area and temperature on electrical output of the cell were observed and photogalvanic effect was studied in a photogalvanic cell containing TritonX-100 as surfactant, Rhodamine 6G as photosensitizer and Oxalic acid as reductant. The observed photopotential and photocurrent were 672.0 mV and 165.0 µA, respectively. The observed conversion efficiency was 0.55 % and the maximum output of cell was 57.06 µW. The photogalvanic cell can be used for 96 minutes in the dark and a mechanism has also been proposed for the generation of photocurrent in photogalvanic cell.
