Abstract

A very simple, low-cost and bio-compatible photo-induced K-ion-based power cell has been developed using an aqueous electrolyte solution of PVA-WO3-ZnO-K2HPO4 and poly(lactic acid) film. After investigation of the charging and discharging phenomenon the maximum open circuit voltage is obtained \(\sim\) 1 V under light intensity ~ 110 mW/cm2. Then the device is discharged with a constant discharge current density ~ 0.5 mA/cm2. The sturdiness of K-ion photo-power cell is also verified by observing the charging-discharging data repeatedly for 200 cycles. It shows \(\sim 16\) F/m2 storage capacity with energy density and power density \(\sim 2.22\) mWh/m2 and \(\sim\) 5 W/m2, respectively. A commercially available LED also driven by our fabricated power cell for showing its practical application possibilities.
