Inorganic liquid photovoltaic cell: tetravalent molybdenum in water.
An inorganic liquid photovoltaic cell is described. The cell is based on the reaction 2Mo(4+) <--> Mo(5+) + Mo(3+), with pentavalent molybdenum formed in the illuminated half-cell and trivalent molybdenum formed in the dark half-cell. In the photochemical reaction pentavalent molybdenum precipitates. Consequently, the cell has the capability of storing energy.
