Solar Energy Storage Using a Cu2O-TiO2 Photocathode in a Lithium Battery

  • 12/04/2023
  • Comments off

A Cu2O-TiO2 photoelectrode is proposed for simultaneous solar light energy harvesting and storing of electrochemical energy in an adapted lithium coin cell. The p-type Cu2O semiconductor layer is the light harvester component of the photoelectrode and the TiO2 film performs as the capacitive layer. The rationale of the energy scheme shows that the photocharges generated […]

  • Comments off

2D materials display exciting properties in numerous fields, but the development of applications is hindered by the low yields, high processing times, and impaired quality of current exfoliation methods. In this work we have used the excellent MW absorption properties of MoS2 to induce a fast heating that produces the near-instantaneous evaporation of an adsorbed, […]

Double redox aqueous capacitor with high energy output

  • 01/03/2023
  • Comments off

The paper puts forward the concept of double redox electrochemical capacitor operating in an aqueous electrolyte. It combines the redox activity of sulphur from Bi2S3 nanocrystals combined with the reactions of iodides which take place at opposite electrode. This combination effectively boosts the capacitance (275 F g-1), and the energy density of the device thanks […]
