Overview

The National Academy of Engineering, in its Grand Challenge on “making solar energy economical,” places emphasis on this statement, “However advanced solar cells become at generating electricity cheaply and efficiently, a major barrier to widespread use of the sun’s energy remains: the need for storage” [1].

For energy storage devices, such as the battery and the supercapacitor, the most common problems are shelf/cycle life, lower efficiency, and high leakage current [2, 3]. These are tremendous challenges for an integrated circuit (IC) industry seeking greater IC functionality, smaller component size, and low power consumption using standard supercapacitors, ultracapacitors, or electrochemical capacitors for on-chip energy storage. In addition, the continuous need to reduce the component size of IC elements has not only begun to challenge the capabilities of...
