Solar batteries present an emerging class of devices which enable simultaneous energy conversion and energy storage in one single device. This high level of integration enables new energy storage concepts ranging from short-term solar energy buffers to light-enhanced batteries, thus opening up exciting vistas for decentralized energy storage.
(a) Light energy conversion and energy storage can be implemented in the same device via three distinct electrodes (photoactive electrode, battery cathode, and anode). Multiple charge transfer mechanisms are required within the cell (e.g., redox shuttles) and externally via a wire to transfer the photogenerated charges.
Modular BESS designs allow for easier scaling and replacement of components, improving flexibility and reducing lifecycle costs. Designing a Battery Energy Storage System is a complex task involving factors ranging from the choice of battery technology to the integration with renewable energy sources and the power grid.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are a component of the global transition towards a sustainable energy future. Renewable energy sources become increasingly prevalent. The need for efficient and reliable energy storage solutions has never been more critical.
By performing both light absorption and charge storage, bifunctional materials enable the most recent and highest level of material integration in solar batteries. To conclude, bifunctional materials are the most recent development in solar battery research.
The first groundbreaking solar battery concept of combined solar energy harvesting and storage was investigated in 1976 by Hodes, Manassen, and Cahen, consisting of a Cd–Se polycrystalline chalcogenide photoanode, capable of light absorption and photogenerated electron transfer to the S 2– /S redox couple in the electrolyte.
