“…Several attempts have been made to achieve such a device starting with back-to-back fabrication of the battery and solar cell. 1,2 Recently, great interest has been shown in the integration of a dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and a battery because of the electrochemical nature of DSSCs and their similar structure to batteries. These efforts can be classied into two groups.…”

An integrated solar energy conversion and storage system is presented using a dye sensitized electrode in a redox battery structure. A stable discharge voltage is shown with high areal energy storage capacity of 180 W h cm-2 by choosing iodide/polysulfide as the pair of active materials matched with permeable porous electrodes. The solar rechargeable battery system offers a higher round-trip efficiency and potential cost savings on fabrication compared to individual devices.

“…[8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Additionally, it is advantageous to directly combine plastic power with polymer solar cells or light emitting diodes in a streamlined manufacturing process to create low-cost fully flexible devices. 10,15,16 Aside from their mechanical versatility, conjugated polymers have several advantages such as synthetic tailorability, cost, and processability that make them ideal candidates for electrochemical energy storage. Their electrochemical and physical properties may be tuned through organic synthetic techniques.…”

This review covers recent advances in conjugated polymers and their application in energy storage. Conjugated polymers are promising cost-effective, lightweight, and flexible electrode materials. The operating principles of conjugated polymers are presented within the framework of their potential for energy storage. Special focus is given to polyaniline electrodes. Recent advances are reviewed including new methods of synthesis, nanostructuring, and assembly. Also, covered are applications that take full advantage of the mechanical properties of conjugated polymers and future applications of these novel materials.

“…However, less attention has been paid to in situ charging processes for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) using PSCs, even though the pairing of solar cells and rechargeable batteries is considered the first step toward practical applications [43][44][45]. Taking into account the specifications of LIBs, the minimum voltage required is about >3.7 V (nominal voltage), which cannot be afforded by single PSCs.…”

Abstract:The combination of lithium ion battery (LIB) and organic (polymer) solar cells is expected to deliver versatile self-rechargeable portable energy sources, but less attention has been paid to the charging characteristics of LIB-using polymer solar cells. Here we demonstrate that the LIB packs, which were prepared by using lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO 2 ) and graphite as a cathode and an anode, respectively, can be effectively charged by semi-solar modules of polymer:fullerene solar cells, of which bulk heterojunction (BHJ) layers are composed of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC 61 BM). Results showed that the performance of semi-solar modules was not much degraded by connecting four single solar cells in series or in parallel, but their output power density was noticeably reduced by extending the number of single cells up to eight. The charging test disclosed that the output current density is of importance to speed up the LIB charging at the same output voltage.
