Nanostructured Materials for Next-Generation Energy Storage and Conversion

Abstract

As the demand of energy has skyrocketed, there is an urgent need for development of energy self-sufficient power systems. Devices for energy generation such as solar/photovoltaic and energy storage such as supercapacitors and batteries are key technologies suitable for meeting the growing energy demand. This chapter introduces the integration of photovoltaic and electrochemical storage processes into one device to build miniaturized and energy self-sufficient power pack. The notable advances in this integration concept based on silicon, dye-sensitized, and perovskite such as photovoltaic technologies with supercapacitors and batteries such as energy storage technologies are presented and discussed along with the challenges and future directions of the technology.

Author Contributions

A. Gurung wrote the section on batteries, K. Chen on supercapacitors and Q. Qiao reviewed and edited the submitted draft as well as research from his own research group.
