Abstract:
The possibility is shown of designing a functional hybrid galvanophotocapacitor active system that would be able to use, if necessary, its own chemical energy in darkness instead of only the energy stored during illumination. In experiments, the Bridgman-grown $n$-type indium monoselenide was used as the photosensitive anode. Electrochemical investigations were carried out in a three-electrode cell with an aprotic solution of electrolyte; 0.4 M lithium-iodide solution in $\gamma$-butyrolactone acid and 1M lithium-tetrafluorborate in the same solvent were chosen as the latter.
