Photovoltaic Cell

摘要

The present invention involves the use of a membrane electrode assembly, i.e. a cathode/membrane/anode assembly capable of transmitting light. A first aspect of the invention is a photovoltaic cell which is a membrane electrode assembly capable of transmitting light. The membrane material is preferably a polymer comprising a strongly ionic group. The assembly preferably comprises a catalyst and/or a dye sensitiser. A second aspect of the invention is a method for generating a voltage which comprises irradiating a cell of the invention.
