Chaotropic Agents Boosting the Performance of Photo-ionic Cells

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Heron Vrubel, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Jelissa Risse

Photo-ionic cells are a simple and scalable concept for direct solar energy storage, where the redox fuels produced by the photoreaction are separated in different phases to prevent recombination. The presence of chaotropic agents such as urea, that break ...

Photo-Ionic Cells: Two Solutions to Store Solar Energy and Generate Electricity on Demand

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Heron Vrubel, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon

A solar energy conversion concept based on the photo-induced separation of a pair of redox species in a biphasic liquid cell is presented. The redox pair is subsequently discharged in an electrochemical flow cell to generate electricity. To illustrate this ...
