Abstract

This chapter mainly focuses on the recent advancements of fiber-shaped devices with integrated functions, i.e., solar energy conversion and electric energy storage. Distinguished from conventional integrated device in a conventional planar form, the fiber-shaped integrated device shares a one-dimensional configuration with fiber electrodes. In the beginning, the working mechanisms of the integrated devices are introduced according to the classification. Then two types of fiber-shaped integrated devices are discussed specified by the energy conversion part, i.e., dye-sensitized solar cell and polymer solar cell which are integrated with electrochemical capacitor in the device. Finally, the perspective for the future development of fiber-shaped integrated devices is given.
