“…The photorechargeable batteries are viable ingredients for the development of internet of things, [86,87] which require the connection of various devices embedded in everyday objects with sufficient power supply for sensing, data processing, and communication. [88,89] Once the energy in the vehicles is used up, a fixed placed such as the petrol station is required to charge the car. It is ideal to switch to a remote charging process on the road.…”

Halide perovskites, traditionally a solar-cell material that exhibits superior energy conversion properties, have recently been deployed in energy storage systems such as lithium-ion batteries and photorechargeable batteries. Here, recent progress in halide perovskite-based energy storage systems is presented, focusing on halide perovskite lithium-ion batteries and halide perovskite photorechargeable batteries. Halide-perovskitebased supercapacitors and photosupercapacitors are also discussed. The photorechargeable batteries and photorechargeable supercapacitors employ solar energy to photocharge the battery; this saves energy and improves device portability. These lightweight, integrated halide perovskite-based systems, which are pertinent to electric vehicles and portable electronic devices, are reviewed in detail. Suggestions on future research into the design of halide-perovskite-based energy storage materials are also given. This review provides a foundation for the development of integrated lightweight energy conversion and storage materials.

“…According to the used electrode number, the different device architectures can be classified into 1) two‐electrode, 2) three‐electrode, 3) four‐electrode system. The traditional photo‐responsive batteries involve independent photoelectrodes in a three‐electrode and even a four‐electrode configuration, which makes the system be bulk, inflexible and expensive with high energy loss . Thus, in order to achieve high‐efficiency photo‐responsive batteries, internal integration of photo‐responsive functionalities into batteries with a two‐electrode configuration is undoubtedly a potential solution and have attracted increasing interest more recently .…”

Exceptional advancement has been made in the development of graphene optical nanoantennas. They are incorporated with optoelectronic devices for plasmonics application and have been an active research area across the globe. The interest in graphene plasmonic devices is driven by the different applications they have empowered, such as ultrafast nanodevices, photodetection, energy harvesting, biosensing, biomedical imaging and high-speed terahertz communications. In this article, the aim is to provide a detailed review of the essential explanation behind graphene nanoantennas experimental proofs for the developments of graphene-based plasmonics antennas, achieving enhanced light–matter interaction by exploiting graphene material conductivity and optical properties. First, the fundamental graphene nanoantennas and their tunable resonant behavior over THz frequencies are summarized. Furthermore, incorporating graphene–metal hybrid antennas with optoelectronic devices can prompt the acknowledgment of multi-platforms for photonics. More interestingly, various technical methods are critically studied for frequency tuning and active modulation of optical characteristics, through in situ modulations by applying an external electric field. Second, the various methods for radiation beam scanning and beam reconfigurability are discussed through reflectarray and leaky-wave graphene antennas. In particular, numerous graphene antenna photodetectors and graphene rectennas for energy harvesting are studied by giving a critical evaluation of antenna performances, enhanced photodetection, energy conversion efficiency and the significant problems that remain to be addressed. Finally, the potential developments in the synthesis of graphene material and technological methods involved in the fabrication of graphene–metal nanoantennas are discussed.
