“…Other attempts to improve the performance of photogalvanic cells have involved either improved cell design [e.g., thin layer cells with transparent electrodes (3)] or the use of nonhomogeneous media [e.g., microemulsions (ga), gels (gb), membranes (10), or chemical bonding of the dye to a polymer chain (11)]. So far, however, no major breakthroughs in improving the efficiency of light-to-electrical energy conversion have been achieved.…”

Conducting SnO2 electrodes precoated with poly(4‐vinyl pyridine) can electrostatically bind an anionic dye, rose bengal, within the protonated polymer matrix. When this modified electrode was dipped into an aqueous solution containing a suitable redox couple and illuminated in the dye absorption band, anodic photogalvanic effects were seen. The improved photogalvanic performance of the dye‐loaded polymer electrodes has been attributed to high dye concentrations near the electrode surface, longer lived excited states, and stabilization of the photogenerated electroactive species.
