Theoretical model that relates both electrical and chemical power in photosensitizeddye-cells

This paper presents a theoretical model relating the electrical power to the chemical power in a photosensitized dye-cell. The same is based on the junction of present concepts of chemical potential models and chemical power. Thus, from these two considerations is possible to perform tests under various physical and environmental conditions during the solar conversion process. Consequently, the proposed theoretical model allows relating the power to solar chemical parameters: solid angle, temperature of the radiation source, wavelength and temperature of the photosensitized dye-cell. The electrons flow generation within the cell is promoted by absorption of solar energy incident on the dye. Therefore, the main condition embodied in this work is based on the incident energy absorption surface is the dye.
