Abstract
A one‐dimensional mathematical model of the liquid‐junction photovoltaic cell was coupled with primary resistance calculations to predict the optimal performance of three cell configurations. Two cells are considered in which the semiconductor is illuminated from the electrolyte side and one in which the semiconductor is illuminated from the current‐collector side. An economic analysis is presented based upon these results. The performance of the liquid‐junction photovoltaic cell is dependent upon the design, surface area, and placement of the counterelectrode and current collectors.Keywords
