ABSTRACT:
Liquid-semiconductor photocells have received much attention recently as candidates for use in solar power conversion devices. A semiconductor liquid junction photovoltaic cell having a photoactive electrode made from CuInS.sub.2 and a liquid electrolyte containing a redox couple consisting of S.sub.2 .dbd./S.dbd. anions has been found to produce a stable photocurrent output.
