Molecular Photoelectrochemical Energy Storage Materials for Coupled Solar Batteries

“…These models have been applied to lithium-ion storage, zinc-ion/anion dual-ion storage, and proton storage. This section will discuss the work mechanisms of photoassisted and photocharge modes, which are classified based on the presence or absence of an external bias to assist charging and discharging. , …”

“…This section will discuss the work mechanisms of photoassisted and photocharge modes, which are classified based on the presence or absence of an external bias to assist charging and discharging. 36,37 For molecular photoelectrochemical materials used in coupled solar batteries, a light-assisted charge/discharge mechanism is preferred when the electron reductions in the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level, where the electrons reside, are insufficient to drive the target electrode reaction (e.g., Li/Li + = −1.46 eV, Zn/Zn 2+ = −3.74 eV vs vacuum level). The photoassisted charge/discharge process is conducted with the assistance of an external bias to provide additional energy.…”

Combining Supercapacitor and Energy Harvesting Devices with Magnets Integrated with Interfacial Materials for Efficient Current Transfer

“…The development of green energy devices capable of harvesting energy has seen remarkable advancements in recent times, − including energy storage devices that store the energy captured by the energy harvester. − The integrated device combines both an energy harvester and an energy storage device and is predominant over its individual part due to the multifunctional properties of the integrated device, such as photosupercapacitor , and piezoelectric supercapacitor. , The integrated device operates by harvesting energy from sources such as sunlight (via solar cells), mechanical movements (via piezoelectrics), and other energy conversion methods. The converted energy is then transferred to energy storage devices (batteries or supercapacitors) for storage.…”
