“…Where [20] explain benefits of using lithium-ion batteries on small as well as large scale, a new idea of 'artificial photosynthesis' for energy is proposed in [21], this method presents an approach by which energy is produced and in addition it supports some biological processes for example making food and more. As discussed in section IV (B), the size and modelling of battery is also a big challenge to be solved.…”

Smart grid is considered as future grid having numbers of advantages, not only for owners but customers also. One of the advantages of this future grid is, it is more reliable and environment-friendly grid as it helps to reduce greenhouse gases emission by integrating renewable energy sources with it. Renewable integration brings lots of benefits but before that numbers of challenges are needed to be solved and hence large-scale renewable penetration is considered as one of the biggest challenges to future smart grid. Researches are going on to deal with these hurdles and to make this integration obstacle-free. This paper presents a literature survey on these challenges and their possible solutions to give a brief view on current research scenario on this topic.

“…Although natural photosynthesis is a product of continued evolution stemming from environmental pressures and opportunities, it is not designed to satiate the material and fuel-consumption demands of modern societies . Conversely, if the associated technological and policy challenges can be surmounted, artificial photosynthesis offers a route to meeting global human energy demands with minimal environmental impact. ,,,− In this context, designing artificial photosynthetic assemblies that use “just the best bits” of the biological counterpart is a promising approach. , …”

Nature offers inspiration for developing technologies that integrate the capture, conversion, and storage of solar energy. In this review article, we highlight principles of natural photosynthesis and artificial photosynthesis, drawing comparisons between solar energy transduction in biology and emerging solar-to-fuel technologies. Key features of the biological approach include use of earth-abundant elements and molecular interfaces for driving photoinduced charge separation reactions that power chemical transformations at global scales. For the artificial systems described in this review, emphasis is placed on advancements involving hybrid photocathodes that power fuel-forming reactions using molecular catalysts interfaced with visible-light-absorbing semiconductors.

“…Renewable energies have emerged as clean alternatives to overcome environmental and energy crisis of the fossil energies. [ 1 ] However, due to the alternating availability of renewable energy sources, [ 2 ] rechargeable batteries have been unavoidably considered as key intermediate for dispatchable load of their energy. [ 3 ] At present, Lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) are the most widely used rechargeable energy storage systems.…”

Rechargeable seawater batteries (SWBs) are regarded as sustainable alternatives to Li‐ion batteries due to the use of an unlimited and free source of Na ion active materials. Although many approaches including the introduction of new catalysts have successfully improved the performance of SWBs, reconsidering the cell design is an urgent requirement to improve the performance and scale up the production of practical batteries. In this study, by adjusting the maximum space efficiency, a rectangular cell is developed which due to its unique architecture, benefits from optimized contact to improve the overall charge transfer in the system. In view of the rigidity of the solid electrolyte, the novel cell model is intended to have adequate flexibility to be easily transported and practically utilized. Furthermore, the enhanced efficiency of the parallel stacked modules, indicates the capability of this cell in practical use. The designed catalyst‐free cell system shows a record capacity of 3.8 Ah (47.5 Ah kg−1), energy of 11 Wh (137.5 Wh kg−1), and peak power of 523 mW for individual unit cell, while it also retains performance up to 100 cycles. This design paves the way for commercializing rechargeable seawater batteries.
