A photorechargeable device can generate power from sunlight and store it in one device, which has a broad application prospect in the future. However, if the working state of the photovoltaic part in the photorechargeable device deviates from the maximum power point, its actual power conversion efficiency will reduce. The strategy of voltage match on the maximum power point is reported to achieve a high overall efficiency (η) of the photorechargeable device assembled by a passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) solar cell and Ni-based asymmetric capacitors. According to matching the voltage of the maximum power point of the photovoltaic part, the charging characteristics of the energy storage part are adjusted to realize a high actual power conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic part (η). The η of a Ni(OH)-rGO-based photorechargeable device is 21.53%, and the η is up to 14.55%. This strategy can promote further practical application for the development of photorechargeable devices.

Combining energy harvesting with energy storage systems in a single device could offer great advantages for continuous power supply in both indoor and outdoor electric applications. In this work, we demonstrate a photochargeable sodium-ion battery (PSIB) based on a photoactive cathode of two-dimensional crystals of MoSe. This photocathode enables spontaneous photodriven charging of a sodium-ion battery cathode under illumination and an increase in the reversible capacity to 29% at 600 mA g compared to that under dark conditions during galvanostatic cycling.

This study presents an innovative approach to integrated energy systems by combining solar energy harvesting and electrochemical charge storage in a single modular platform. By strategically incorporating a MoS/NaTaO heterostructure material, we have developed a photo-rechargeable zinc-ion capacitor (PR-ZIC) that utilises the synergistic benefits of this unique configuration. The photoactive MoS/NaTaO cathode effectively absorbs light and charges the capacitor, enabling continuous light-driven operation.

Photorechargeable supercapacitors are promising next-generation renewable energy storage devices. Previously, a hybrid structure consisting of indium-tin oxide branched nanowires (ITO BRs) and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) was demonstrated as a photorechargeable supercapacitor. However, the formation mechanism of photovoltage has not been studied.

The solar-driven photorechargeable zinc-ion batteries have emerged as a promising power solution for smart electronic devices and equipment. However, the subpar cyclic stability of the Zn anode remains a significant impediment to their practical application. Herein, poly(diethynylbenzene-1,3,5-triimine-2,4,6-trione) (PDPTT) was designed as a functional polymer coating of Zn.

Photorechargeable zinc ion batteries (PZIBs), which can directly harvest and store solar energy, are promising technologies for the development of a renewable energy society. However, the incompatibility requirement between narrow band gap and wide coverage has raised severe challenges for high-efficiency dual-functional photocathodes. Herein, half-metallic vanadium (III) oxide (VO) was first reported as a dual-functional photocathode for PZIBs.
