Description
Summary:A photorechargeable device can generate power from sunlight and store it in one device, which has a broad application prospect in the future. However, if the working state of the photovoltaic part in the photorechargeable device deviates from the maximum power point, its actual power conversion efficiency will reduce. The strategy of voltage match on the maximum power point is reported to achieve a high overall efficiency (ηoa) of the photorechargeable device assembled by a passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) solar cell and Ni-based asymmetric capacitors. According to matching the voltage of the maximum power point of the photovoltaic part, the charging characteristics of the energy storage part are adjusted to realize a high actual power conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic part (ηpv). The ηpv of a Ni­(OH)2-rGO-based photorechargeable device is 21.53%, and the ηoa is up to 14.55%. This strategy can promote further practical application for the development of photorechargeable devices.
