Integrated Photocharging Energy Storage Systems
My research focuses on developing and optimizing photo-rechargeable energy storage systems, such as photobatteries and photosupercapacitors. I aim to integrate the harvesting and storage of solar energy into a single integrated device with a simple architecture to reduce the loss of energy associated with wiring and interconnection. To this end, my work involves synthesizing advanced photoactive and capacitive materials, integrating these materials into functional devices, and assessing and optimizing them regarding their photovoltaic and photo-electrochemical performance.
