“…Elevated temperatures typically yield augmented conductance due to heightened charge carrier mobility. The analysis of conductance-temperature relationship involves leveraging semiconductor physics concepts, notably activation energy [115]. Activation energy signifies the energy threshold for charge carriers to traverse through the material [116].…”

Among the emerging photovoltaic technologies, solid‐state dye‐sensitised solar cells (ssDSSCs) have attracted considerable interest due to their cost‐effective production, adjustable characteristics, and potential for lightweight and flexible applications. Nevertheless, achieving efficiencies comparable to established technologies, such as perovskite and silicon‐based solar devices, have proven challenging. Herein, the device structure, Pt/PEDOT: PSS/N719 dye/PC61BM/ITO is investigated theoretically using the solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS‐1D). Groundbreaking advancement is introduced in ssDSSC design, achieving remarkable theoretical power conversion efficiency of 20.73%, surpassing the performance reported in traditional dye‐based solar cell technologies. The model ssDSSC demonstrates an exceptional Fill factor of 86.64%, indicating efficient current collection; along with a modest short‐circuit current density (Jsc) of 22.38 mA/cm2 and an impressive open‐circuit voltage (Voc) of 1.0691 V, highlighting efficient light absorption and charge separation. Mott–Schottky capacitance analysis and parasitic resistances (series and shunt) have been thoroughly discussed. Despite the fact that only numerical simulation is involved, the proposed ssDSSCs structure gives insights into the fabrication of a highly efficient solar cell that can be injected into the production workflow in order to advance the photovoltaic technology of the solid‐state DSSC.

“…Additionally, photovoltaic cells (such as silicon, dye-sensitized, and perovskite solar cells) and external electrochemical components are combined, 16 where the latter externally stores electricity in the form of chemical energy, while the former acts as an energy collector. These two separate systems are connected by an external wire connection.…”

“…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.…”

Various photosupercapacitor designs reported are usually integrated with permanently positioned interfacial layers, such as carbon-based materials, conductive ink, and conductive tape that joins the solar cell and supercapacitor. Nonetheless, the uncomplicated and separable photosupercapacitors have not been revealed yet. Herein, an assembled photosupercapacitor combined via magnets that is easily separable into solar cell and supercapacitor components is reported in this study, facilitating component maintenance or replacement whenever a separation is needed. The size of the contact materials between the magnet sheets is optimized based on the optimum magnetic attraction. Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) show performance comparable to that of an interfacial material (compared with Cu tape, polypyrrole (Ppy), and Ag ink) between the substrate and the contact material (graphite sheet) compared with the sputtered metals, such as Pt and Au. This assembly, combined with magnets, streamlines the energy conversion processes, showcasing its potential for innovative electronic integration.
