This focused review explores on the current developments in III–V semiconductor materials for solar-powered photocatalytic systems.
Under solar radiation (100 mW cm −2), the coupling process of photoelectron excitation and electrochemistry enhances the storage efficiency and power density of the integrated system. Thereby, high-efficiency integration of light energy harvesting and storage could be realized.
In recent years, solar photovoltaic technology has experienced significant advances in both materials and systems, leading to improvements in efficiency, cost, and energy storage capacity. These advances have made solar photovoltaic technology a more viable option for renewable energy generation and energy storage.
To enable widespread use of photovoltaic modules as a primary source of alternative electricity, it is essential to reduce the production cost of solar cells. One promising approach is the reuse of expensive crystalline semiconductor substrates from high-efficiency cells.
As an integrated system, it is difficult to meet the demands in energy density and power density if the optimization is solely applied to the active materials or electrolytes. The photorechargeable battery is an energy storage device, in which both generation of light-excited charge carriers and electrochemical reaction proceed simultaneously.
This would trigger the development and applications of energy conversion and storage. The integrated energy conversion–storage systems could be considered as the derivative technology of PSCs, which rely on the technical advantages of PSCs.
