Recent Research in the Development of Integrated Solar Cell
In this review, the progress and development of solar cell integrated supercapacitors is elaborated. The review presents an overview and critical examination of various laboratory
Herein, a supercapacitor is chosen as the energy storage unit, since it is capable of providing high power density and long-term stability. In order to utilize these power packs in practical applications, various factors are considered, including overall energy conversion efficiency, fabrication techniques, safety, and the cost of the device.
Solar cell integrated supercapacitors or photosupercapacitors have attracted interest among researchers in recent years due to their potential application in smart electronics. 14 For the construction of a photosupercapacitor, the solar cell is used for energy conversion and the supercapacitor is for energy storage.
It is due to the low energy density and fast charge/discharge rates of supercapacitors that are not capable of storing large amounts of energy. Hence, the solar integrated supercapacitor device is less suitable as a durable power source for long-time discharge.
(1) that the energy density of the supercapacitor is dependent on cell voltage (V) that is purely reliant on electrolyte.
