The development of high-performance solar cells combined with rechargeable batteries is crucial in achieving a sustainable and renewable-based energy future. Photo-Rechargeable batteries (PRBs) are emerging dual-functionality devices, able to both harvest solar energy and store it in the form of electrochemical energy.
The integrated photoelectric battery serves as a compact and energy-efficient form for direct conversion and storage of solar energy compared to the traditional isolated PV-battery systems. However, combining efficient light harvesting and electrochemical energy storage into a single material is a great challenge.
The use of solar energy, an important green energy source, is extremely attractive for future energy storage. Recently, intensive efforts are dedicated to photo-assisted rechargeable battery devices as they can directly convert and store solar energy efficiently and thus provide a potential way to utilize sunlight on a large scale.
Research progress on Photo-LIBs Among photodynamic batteries, Photo-LIBs are the most promising due to their high operating voltage, high energy density, high reversibility, high cycling stability, and commercial fabrication. Currently, bifunctional batteries possess a low specific capacity and short cycle life.
Consequently, the photo-energized room temperature battery exhibits a higher discharge voltage platform of 2.95 V and the charge voltage down to 3.27 V, leading to high energy efficiency of 90.2% than 74.9% of non-illuminated battery.
Recently, efforts have been made in the search for advanced functional materials and integrated device configurations to improve the performance of photoenhanced batteries. A photo-rechargeable battery will provide a unique, standalone energy solution for self-powered remote electronic devices, independent of power grids.
