  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008836",
  "term": "Photocurrent yield",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The efficiency with which absorbed photons are converted into electrical current in a photoelectrochemical or photovoltaic device. It is typically expressed as the ratio of the number of electrons generated to the number of incident photons. This parameter is a key measure of device performance in solar energy conversion.",
