Iodide Electrolyte-Based Hybrid Supercapacitor for Compact Photo-Rechargeable Energy Storage System Utilising Silicon Solar Cells

Enhanced electrophoretic motion using supercapacitor-based energy storage system.

Electrophoretic motion at low potentials is facilitated by redox chemistry occurring in a supercapacitor-based electrochemical energy storage system during charge and discharge. We show that MnO2 -modified electrodes can effectively alleviate the electrode surface polarization, the main factor that leads to inefficient electrophoresis at low voltages. A self-powered electrophoretic system based...

Porphyrin dye-sensitised solar cells utilising a solid-state electrolyte.

We describe a porphyrin dye-sensitised solar cell utilising a solid state electrolyte containing the I(-)/I(3)(-) redox couple, which yields a performance of 5.3% under moderate light intensity and 4.8% at full sun.

Integrated photoelectrochemical energy storage: solar hydrogen generation and supercapacitor

Current solar energy harvest and storage are so far realized by independent technologies (such as solar cell and batteries), by which only a fraction of solar energy is utilized. It is highly desirable to improve the utilization efficiency of solar energy. Here, we construct an integrated photoelectrochemical device with simultaneous supercapacitor and hydrogen evolution functions based on TiO(...

Performance Study of Hybrid Energy Storage System Combining Battery and Supercapacitor for EV Applications

Electric Vehicle (EV) possesses a significant potential to provide clean energy in vehicular technology. To increase the drive cycle efficiency and the driving range of EVs, which is considered to be the key barrier for its successful commercialization, its energy storage technology needs to be improved. The power requirement of an electric vehicle cannot be satisfied by the battery alone as it...
