Photo-rechargeable battery with TiO2/carbon fiber electrodes prepared by laser deposition

High-performance all-solid-state flexible carbon/TiO2micro-supercapacitors with photo-rechargeable capability

“…In some previous work, only two electrodes can also realize the same functions, where an electrode works as both the photo-electrode and the charge-storage electrode. [24][25][26][27] Such a system may make the photo-charge and discharge process easy and convenient. To date, most of the reports focused on the sandwich-type photo-rechargeable system, and there are rare studies on the fabrication and demonstration of the in-plane-type photorechargeable micro-supercapacitors, possibly due to the difficulties on the design and fabrication.…”

Synthesis of Highly Stable and Crystalline Mesoporous Anatase by Using a Simple Surfactant Sulfuric Acid Carbonization Method

“…Chemicals: Titanium isopropoxide [TiA C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (OCHA C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (CH 3 ) 2 ) 4 , TIPO] was purchased from Acros. Triblock copolymers, Pluronic P123, F127 and F108 were received from Aldrich.…”

“…Triblock copolymers, Pluronic P123, F127 and F108 were received from Aldrich. Ethanol (absolute), concentrated HCl (36.5 wt %), concentrated H 2 SO 4 (98 wt %), tetraethyl orthosilicate [Si-A C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (OC 2 H 5 ) 4 , TEOS] and rhodamine B (RhB) were purchased from China Medicines Corp. Titania nanoparticle P25 was supplied by Degussa Corp. All chemicals were used as received without further purification.…”

Energy Storage in Bifunctional TiO2 Composite Materials under UV and Visible Light

“…In 2000, TiO 2 composite materials with energy storage abilities were first developed by Xinjing Zou's group [21] who found that TiO 2 /carbon fiber electrodes functioned as a photo-rechargeable battery with the dual functions of opto-electric conversion and electrochemical energy storage. In 2001, Tatsuma et al [22] developed a TiO 2 /WO 3 photoelectrochemical anticorrosion system with energy storage ability.…”
