PV battery potential.... coming up with experiment

[QUOTE="hdp12, post: 5376816, member: 514926"] Hello there everybody In my research group we've been working on PV cells and exploring non-conventional techniques to try and raise the efficiency of some of the lesser explored materials that have PV potential. Well, last week while testing one of our cells in a solar simulator, we noticed that after we turned the light off, instead of flatlining to zero electrons released, it instead seemed to exponentially decay... as a charged battery would... This was extremely exciting and we've decided to follow up this phenomenon with a series of testing to try and narrow down the exact elements and compounds causing this. I was posting to ask people if they had any ideas how to test a cells battery capabilities. We've talked about it amongst ourselves and haven't come up with anything other than the solar simulator and the cell connected to a voltmeter, same procedure as testing a normal PV cell. I was hoping somebody might have another idea that was really targeted at the battery aspect of it. Hope to hear from someone :) [/QUOTE]
