The development of advanced solar energy storage in rechargeable batteries is one of the most critical challenges in clean-energy technology to lessen air pollution and the dependence on fossil fuels. In particular, the nanophotocatalysts play a pivotal role in the conversion from solar energy to storable chemical energy among various batteries.
Until recently, the increasing studies and reports have focused on the direct integration of photoelectrodes into the rechargeable batteries such as Li-ion batteries, Li-O 2 batteries and redox flow batteries , , . These systems possess simplified device configuration and enhanced energy density.
Compared with the external combination of PVs, the solar-powered rechargeable batteries which integrate photoelectrodes and rechargeable batteries into a single device further simplify the entire systems , , .
For the in-depth development of the solar energy storage in rechargeable batteries, the photocatalyst is a pivotal component due to its unique property of capturing the solar radiation, and plays a crucial role as a bridge to realize the conversion/storage of solar energy into rechargeable batteries ( Fig. 1 c).
