In general, the energy conversion, storage and utilization of the solar rechargeable battery can be achieved via three stages: solar to electrical energy conversion, electrical-to-chemical energy conversion simultaneously in the photocharge process, and chemical-to-electrical energy conversion subsequently in the discharge process.
The development of high-performance solar cells combined with rechargeable batteries is crucial in achieving a sustainable and renewable-based energy future. Photo-Rechargeable batteries (PRBs) are emerging dual-functionality devices, able to both harvest solar energy and store it in the form of electrochemical energy.

Abstract Solar cells and rechargeable batteries are two key technologies for energy conversion and storage in modern society.
Recently a solar rechargeable flow cell was developed based on a dual-silicon photoelectrochemical cell and a quinone/bromine redox flow battery (Figures 5 C and 5D). 37 This device showed an overall efficiency of 3.2% (Figure 5 E) that outperforms other reported solar rechargeable flow cells.
However, the intermittent nature of solar energy results in a high dependence on weather conditions of solar cells. Integrated solar cell-energy storage systems that integrate solar cells and energy storage devices may solve this problem by storing the generated electricity and managing the energy output.
