- Abstract
Photoassisted energy storage systems, which enable both the conversion and storage of solar energy, have attracted attention in recent years. These systems, which started about 20 years ago with the individual production of dye-sensitized solar cells and capacitors and their integration, today allow more compact and cost-effective designs using dual-acting electrodes. Solar-assisted batterylike or hybrid supercapacitors have also shown promise with their high energy densities. This review summarizes all of these device designs and conveys the cutting-edge studies in this field. Besides, this review aims to emphasize the effects of point, extrinsic, intrinsic, and 2D-planar defects on the performance of photoassisted energy storage systems since it is known that defect structures, as well as electrical, optical, and surface properties, affect the device performance. Here, it is also targeted to draw attention to how critical the design, material selection, and material properties are for these new-generation energy conversion and storage devices, which have a high potential to see commercial examples quickly and to be recognized by more readers., T??rkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu [122F390]; TUBITAK [PNRR-III-C9-2022-I8, CF 163/15.11.22, 760097/23.05.23.390]; Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitialization, Romania's National Recovery and Resilience Plan, N.D.S. and M.S. would like to thank TUBITAK for their financial support under research grant no. 122F390.
