Abstract
Solar energy is recognized as a unique conventional energy source. Photoelectrochemical solar cells (PEC) of copper (i) oxide (Cu 2 O) is studied in this work on account of it non-toxic nature and the low cost of the material. Copper (i) oxide is prepared by partial thermal oxidation of copper foils at 970 0 c and used as one electrode, while copper foil is used as the counter electrode. The photo electrochemical solar cells (PEC) device is contained in a cylindrical white plastic container (which is transparent to light) using sodium chloride as an electrolyte. When tested under full sunlight in Katsina town, a short circuit current (I sc ) of 180µA, an open circuit voltage (V oc ) of 70 mV, a fill-factor (FF) of 0.27, and an electrical power conversion efficiency,(Ƞ) of 1.013 × 10 -3 % were obtained respectively.
