Abstract: Using an aqueous dispersion of egg lecithin liposome in the presence of phenosafranin dye and an aqueous dispersion of chlorophyll-incorporated liposome in the two chambers (which are separated by a Pyrex-sintered glass membrane with porosity G-4) of an H-shaped cell, a new type of photo-electrochemical cell has been developed. The photovoltage generation is found to be vector-additive upon illumination of one or both chambers, while the glass membrane behaves as a double electrode. The results have been interpreted in the light of a charge-transfer interaction between the dye and lipid. A photon-mediated electron-transfer mechanism is used for the chlorophyll molecule.
