Special issue on Solar Energy Integration in Buildings
Among these alternatives, the integrated photovoltaic energy storage system, a novel energy solution combining solar energy harnessing and storage capabilities, garners significant attention compared to the traditional separated photovoltaic energy storage system.
Until recent years, with the booming of grid-scale systems, artificial intelligence devices and wearable self-powered gadgets, solar-assisted integrated energy units reconciling energy collection, storage and utilization has revitalized academic and industrial interests to satisfy practical needs.
The development of an integrated power system driven entirely by solar energy is quite challenging. It is critical to design a semiconductor photoelectrode with a suitable band gap and select redox pairs with perfect match. In fact, the real operation process is more complicated as compared to the design in the theoretical level.
A typical solar-driven integrated system is mainly composed of two components: an energy harvesting module (PV cells and semiconductor photoelectrode) and an energy storage module (supercapacitors, metal-ion batteries, metal-air batteries, redox flow batteries, lithium metal batteries etc. [, , , ]).
The stability of a solar-driven integrated system deal with the improvement of materials properties, such as the photo-stability/environmental stability of photoelectrodes (e.g., perovskite materials) in energy harvesting modules and the electrochemical stability of the energy storage modules.
