Storage of Electrons into Chemical Bonds: Towards Molecular Solar Electrical Batteries
While photovoltaics has observed rapid growth in the last decades and utilization of solar energy becomes ever growing part of the total electricity produced by mankind, the lack of control over electrical output caused by fluctuation of solar irradiance is an inevitable drawback of the mass use of solar cells. Solar batteries, addressing intermittent production of solar energy, offer an elegant solution without the need of electricity transport and redistribution. In most examples solar cells are combined with rechargeable batteries (e. g. Li-ion, Pb) which increases the total weight and cost and leads to electricity losses. The approaches for molecular-based storage of light energy, solar…
