Storing and generating energy in a single device: scientists redefine the concept of the solar battery
A group of Chinese researchers has developed a battery that can not only store energy but also produce it. One of the biggest challenges to the energy transition and the breakthrough of renewable resources is the volatile nature of solar energy and the need for increasingly efficient storage systems. A new study published in the journal Electrochimica Acta and entitled 'An aqueous...' promises to change that thanks to an integrated device that can perform both functions.
