Integrating a dual-silicon photoelectrochemical cell into a redox flow battery for unassisted photocharging

Technologies for in situ capture and storage of intermittent solar energy are an important research goal. Here the authors report a solar rechargeable flow cell based on a dual-silicon photoelectrochemical cell and a quinone/bromine redox flow battery for in situsolar energy conversion and storage.
