Photoelectrochemical solar cell using extract of Eugenia jambolana Lam as a natural sensitizer
The extract of Jambolão (java plum), Eugenia jambolana Lam, was used as a natural sensitizer of a wide band-gap semiconductor (TiO2) in photoelectrochemical solar cells. The natural dye, adsorbed onto the semiconductor surface, absorbs visible light and promotes electron transfer across the dye/semi...
