Advancements and Challenges in Perovskite-Based Photo-Induced Rechargeable Batteries and Supercapacitors: A Comparative Review

Abstract

Perovskite-based photo-batteries (PBs) have been developed as a promising combination of photovoltaic and electrochemical technology due to their cost-effective design and significant increase in solar-to-electric power conversion efficiency. The use of complex metal oxides of the perovskite-type in batteries and photovoltaic cells has attracted considerable attention. Because of its variable bandgap, non-rigid structure, high light absorption capacity, long charge carrier diffusion length, and high charge mobility, this material has shown promise in energy storage devices, especially Li-ion batteries (LIBs) and PBs. This review paper focuses on recent progress and comparative analysis of PBs using perovskite-based materials. The practical application of these batteries as dependable power sources faces significant technical and financial challenges because solar radiation is alternating. In order to address this, research is being performed on PBs with the integration of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) as a way to balance energy availability and demand, cut down on energy waste, and stabilize power output for wearable and portable electronics as well as energy storage applications.
