Solar cells will be usable at night

This will become an important source of clean energy in the future.

Find out long-term energy storage

Electrochemical cells (PEC cell) is a special type of solar cell, it can integrate solar energy and transformed into chemical energy form suitable for use in fuel cells. In other words, this will become an important source of clean energy in the future.

For the first time, researchers have found a way to store electricity generated from electrochemical cells (PEC)

Researchers from Fuqiang Liu's team have created a PEC panel consisting of a specially designed photoconductor, a unit that converts protons into electrons. The battery can store the electrons most efficiently during long days, beginning with PEC cell technology in a big role in smart electrical systems.

In addition, the system is equipped with an organic battery (VRB), which is very suitable for the large use of the current grid, because it can be in a ' resting' state for quite some time. without fear of electricity loss; It's much more secure than a lithium-ion battery as well as high thermal resistance and can easily upgrade battery capacity by increasing its electrolyte size.

The research team is currently working on larger samples with the hope that the technology will be used extensively to better integrate the electrochemical cells in the smart grid.
