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.
The integration of capacitors into solar power systems stands as a potent strategy for enhancing their efficiency and operational longevity. Capacitors, essentially energy storage components, function by storing and swiftly releasing electrical energy.
Solar supercapacitors are advanced energy storage devices gaining attention for their efficiency and broad applications. With high energy efficiency, they minimize energy loss, making them ideal for maximizing solar energy utilization.
The energy conversion device (solar cells), when integrated with energy storage systems such as supercapacitors (SC) or lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), can self-charge under illumination and deliver a steady power supply whenever needed.
High Energy Efficiency: Solar supercapacitors charge rapidly and retain energy efficiently, minimizing energy loss during storage and distribution. Long Lifespan: These supercapacitors endure numerous charge and discharge cycles, maintaining performance over extended periods compared to traditional batteries.
The supercapacitor is chosen as the energy storage system in the photocapacitor because of its rapid current response, high power density, and long cycle life when compared with that of secondary batteries. 16 Schematics for the assembly of photosupercapacitor and its integration with various types of solar cells are provided in Fig. 1.
