Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour fabriquer électrochimiquement une cellule photovoltaïque semi-conductrice. Selon l'invention, on introduit une cathode 102 dans un électrolyte 106, la cathode étant sensiblement inerte à l'électrolyte, on introduit une anode 104 dans l'électrolyte, on relie une source de courant électrique 108 à travers la cathode 102 et l'anode 104, on prévoit un premier composant dans l'électrolyte qui se dissocie pour produire des ions qui se déchargent sur la cathode, et on introduit un second composant dans l'électrolyte pour produire des ions ou molécules du composant qui se déchargent ou se décomposent sur la cathode, le second composant se combinant au premier composant sur la cathode pour former le semi-conducteur. La présente invention s'applique notamment à la transformation d'énergie solaire en énergie électrique.
