Light-accelerated fast charging batteries

BDB: Light-accelerated fast charging batteries

Some battery materials exhibit semiconductive properties and are optically active, generating photocurrent when exposed to light. My research delves into the understanding of the interaction between light and semiconducting battery materials during the charge storage process. Furthermore, it involves the design of photoelectrode materials that facilitate efficient charge transfer. These systems can operate in a "photo-accelerated" mode, enabling faster charging capabilities and continuous power generation, even in discharge conditions under light illumination.
