The photoelectric conversion system with the energy storage system has become one of the important means to improve the efficiency of solar energy utilization and expand its application [9, 10]. At present, there are three types of photoelectric conversion and storage system.
Photoelectric storage materials include organic, inorganic, and organic–inorganic composite photoelectric materials, while photothermal storage materials primarily include metal plasmas and semiconductors. In this section, typical PSMs and their design principles are summarized.
In contrast, molecular photoelectrochemical energy storage materials are promising for their mechanism of exciton-involved redox reaction that allows for extra energy utilization from hot excitons generated by superbandgap excitation and localized heat after absorption of sub-bandgap photons.
Newly developed photoelectrochemical energy storage (PES) devices can effectively convert and store solar energy in one two-electrode battery, simplifying the configuration and decreasing the external energy loss.
In this context, the utilisation of solar energy through photoelectrochemical (PEC) processes—including solar water splitting 1, 2 and other types of solar fuel (CO 2 or N 2 reduction) 3, 4 —has been regarded as being particularly attractive for storing solar energy.
Following these principles, more efficient dual-functional photochemical storage electrodes can be developed for solar energy conversion and storage. Materials with photothermal effects convert incident solar energy into thermal energy upon exposure to light.
