A notable fact when integrating solar cells and energy storage devices is the mismatch between them, 8 for example, a battery with a capacity much more higher than what the PV cell can provide per charging cycle.
4. Conclusions In summary, lithium-ion battery (LIB) built based on a blended silicon (Si)/graphite (Gr) anode and an NMC622 cathode with an electrolyte containing high-temperature enabler additive was developed to withstand the high temperature and C rate required for integrated solar battery charging.
Additionally, in devices with shared electrodes and interfaces among the solar cell part and the electrochemical cell, it is a challenge to contain the Li-ions in the electrochemical cell part, so they do not interfere with the normal functioning of the solar cell.
Generally, the anode of a conventional lithium-ion cell is made fromcarbon. The cathode is a metal oxide, and the electrolyte is a lithium salt in an organic solvent. The electrochemical roles of the electrodes reverse between anode and cathode, depending on the direction of current flow through the cell.
Solar cells and batteries/supercapacitors require suitable architectures for their integration. Electrochemical balancing between conversion and storage units must be achieved. Nanostructured materials can make common electrodes work for both electrochemical reactions. A special focus on the most sustainable integrated energy devices is given.
As Si have been intensively used for making solar cells, different types of Si solar cells have been combined with batteries. One remarkable concept was introduced in Chakrapani et al, 65 where a nanowire-based multijunction Si PV device shared a Si substrate with a LiCoO 2 battery, which had a Si nanowire anode.
