PHOTOELECTROCHEMICAL CELL FOR UTILIZING SOLAR ENERGY BY MEANS OF PRODUCING HYDROGEN FROM WATER AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE PHOTOANODE AND OPERATING THE CELL

The electrochemical cell, consisting of a light permeable walls, platinum sheet cathode, cadmium sulphide coated metal anode and/or polysulphide, is illuminated by a solar light of 30,000-40,000 lux, at the same time applying a voltage of some hydreds millivolts. The solar energy releases the hydrog...

More Information
Summary:The electrochemical cell, consisting of a light permeable walls, platinum sheet cathode, cadmium sulphide coated metal anode and/or polysulphide, is illuminated by a solar light of 30,000-40,000 lux, at the same time applying a voltage of some hydreds millivolts. The solar energy releases the hydrogen chemical energy from water. The very light sensitive cadmium sulphide surfaced photoanode, necessary for this process, is prepd. electrolytically.
