Solar cells serve as energy harvesters, and lithium (Li) secondary batteries or capacitors serve as energy stores in integrated energy modules for self-charging. Within these integrated energy modules, the photoelectric storage efficiency (PSE) is a crucial property for continuous power supply to electronic devices.
Newly developed photoelectrochemical energy storage (PES) devices can effectively convert and store solar energy in one two-electrode battery, simplifying the configuration and decreasing the external energy loss.
Photoelectric storage efficiency of PSC-LSB energy integrated module was 14.6 %. The PSC-LSB energy integrated module achieved an 87 % capacity retention after 200 cycles. As portable electronic devices typically rely on rechargeable batteries, it inherently limits their operational time.
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.
Based on the specific discussions of the performance metrics, the bottlenecks of PES devices, including low efficiency and deteriorative stability, are also discussed. Finally, several perspectives of potential strategies to overcome the bottlenecks and realize practical photoelectrochemical energy storage devices are presented.
