Study of MoSe2 crystal as a Photoelectrochemical solar cell

Looking to the world wide crisis of energy resources it is very much important to develop an efficient and sustainable photoelectrochemical solar cell. PEC solar cell generates electrical energy from light which consists of a semiconducting photoanode and a metallic cathode immersed in an electrolyte. In present case we have investigated PEC solar cell using MoSe2 as a working electrode and Platinum/copper as a counter electrode and combination of 0.025MI(2), 0.5MNaI, 0.5MNa(2)SO(4) an electrolyte. MoSe2 is proven to be most efficient and less corrosive semiconducting material. We have performed several experiments on present combination with all possible intensities. In this paper authors report their results and findings of PEC solar cell.
