Integrated photoelectrochemical energy storage cells prepared by benchtop ion soft landing.

ABSTRACT: The exceptional photochromic and redox properties of polyoxometalate anions, PW₁₂O₄₀^3-, have been exploited to develop an integrated photoelectrochemical energy storage cell for conversion and storage of solar energy. Elimination of strongly coordinating cations using benchtop ion soft landing leads to a ∼370% increase in the maximum power output of the device. Additionally, the photocathode displayed a pronounced color change from clear to blue upon irradiation, which warrants the potential application of the IPES cell in advanced smart windows and photochromic lenses.
