Description

Photoelectrochemical energy storage battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of photoelectrochemistry energy storage batteries, and particularly relates to a photoelectrochemistry energy storage battery.
Background
The inexhaustible solar energy is considered to be the most effective alternative energy of fossil energy. However, the utilization of solar energy is restricted by environmental factors such as day and night alternation and weather changes, and the conversion of solar energy into electric energy convenient for utilization attracts extensive attention of researchers. The use of external circuits to connect solar cells to lithium batteries is a simple and straightforward way of solar energy utilization and has been reported in recent years by a group of topics at home and abroad (nat. Commun.6,8103, (2015). Adv. energy Mater.7,1602105, (2017)). However, in such an energy storage system, the matching between the operating voltage and the operating current of the solar cell and the secondary cell is mainly considered, which finally causes the energy storage system to consume a large amount of energy, and has the problems of high cost, complex structure and the like.
The photoelectrochemistry energy storage battery is prepared by integrating the photovoltaic battery or the photo anode and the secondary battery into the same energy storage system, so that the structural complexity of the energy storage system can be effectively reduced. Guo et al proposed a novel integrated power system based on dye-sensitized solar cells and lithium ion batteries, but the overall discharge capacity performance of the batteries was low, only 38.89 μ A h (Nano letters,2012,12(5): 2520-2523.). In addition, because the voltage of the solar photovoltaic cell is lower, the secondary battery can not be directly charged only by a single photovoltaic cell, and the charging voltage of the lithium ion battery can be satisfied by connecting a plurality of solar cells in series, so that the cost and the volume of the battery system are increased, and the portability is reduced. Chinese patent 110676338A discloses a design of a light charging secondary battery, which is a battery system with a semiconductor as a light electrode built into the secondary battery system, the design structure is relatively simple, solid sulfur or polysulfide ion solution is used as a positive electrode, lithium metal is used as a negative electrode, under the illumination condition, the charging voltage of the battery is reduced from the original 2.48V to 1.87V, the light voltage provided by the visible light electrode is not matched with the working voltage of the secondary battery, and only a part of the charging voltage can be provided. In addition, the use of lithium metal electrodes in the battery system and the use of organic electrolyte increases the cost of the battery. High school et al proposed a directly chargeable redox flow battery with dye sensitized titanium dioxide as the photoelectrode and Li2WO4LiI is used as a negative electrode active material and a positive electrode active material, and successfully regulates the working voltage of the secondary battery to be matched with the working voltage of the photo-anode. The cell was illuminated for 10min at 0.075mA cm-2The discharge time lasts about 4min, and the discharge capacity is low. In addition, the organic system adopted by the positive electrode leads to increased cost and reduced safety (Journal of materials chemistry A,2013,1(24): 7012-.
Based on the above analysis, further research is still needed to construct a light charging secondary battery energy storage system which has low cost and good safety and can directly realize conversion and storage of sunlight. The prior light charging secondary battery system mainly has the following problems: the photovoltaic cell and the secondary cell have poor matching performance at working voltage, and cannot realize direct conversion and storage of solar energy. The constructed light charging secondary battery system only depends on light absorption of a single photoelectrode to provide charging driving force, so that the matching of a solar battery and a secondary battery on working voltage and working current is mainly considered; the cost of the battery is increased due to the high price of materials in a battery system, such as the use of organic electrolyte and the use of metal lithium; the discharge capacity is low, and the requirement of solar energy mass storage cannot be met far away.
