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.
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.
Conversion of efficiencies is given in gray. The charging state of the solar battery can be described by the amount of charges C [C g –1] stored on the device, the energy E [Ws g –1] of the accumulated charges, and a cell voltage U [V] that develops from the energy difference between the potential of the anode and cathode.
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.
In any case, the new class of single-component devices circumvents the required electronics to connect a solar cell to a battery (such as DC–DC converters that make up a significant part of the costs of a solar power plant), although it still requires electronics to feed the energy into the grid.
In summary, bifunctional electrodes present the next step of integrated solar battery designs. Only two electrodes are required, since one of the electrodes is capable of effectively performing two functions: light absorption and charge storage.
