Abstract

Photovoltaic-battery (PV/B) hybrid energy systems have gained global attention due to the depletion of fossil fuels and environmental concerns. PV systems play a crucial role in sustainable power generation as they produce clean, environmentally-friendly energy directly from sunlight. Compared to the first-generation silicon PVs, which are ineffective for wavelengths beyond 1100 nm, and the high-cost second-generation III-V semiconductors, Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) stand out as a key material in the latest generation of PVs. They offer the advantage of absorbing light in the near-infrared (NIR) range at a significantly lower cost. Current PV/B systems often integrate silicon PVs with lithium-ion batteries or direct photobatteries and have demonstrated reliable performance. Although substantial academic work has focused on NIR CQD-based PVs and batteries, research directions in NIR PV/B hybrid systems remain somewhat disorganized and uneven. This review focus on: (i) providing a detailed analysis of CQDs, including their chemical and physical properties and their applications in NIR PV cells, and (ii) summarizing literature on past and current NIR CQDPVs and batteries that could be used in PV/B systems, synthesizing diverse sources of information. This article seeks to offer new insights and identify potential future research directions for professionals in the field.

胶体量子点实现的红外光电电池混合系统。

由于化石燃料的枯竭和环境问题，光伏电池（PV/B）混合能源系统得到了全球的关注。光伏系统在可持续发电中发挥着至关重要的作用，因为它们直接从阳光中产生清洁、环保的能源。相比于第一代硅光电器件在1100nm以上的波长下无效，以及第二代III-V半导体器件的高成本，胶体量子点（CQDs）作为最新一代光电器件的关键材料脱颖而出。它们具有以较低的成本吸收近红外（NIR）范围内的光的优点。目前的PV/B系统通常将硅PV与锂离子电池或直接光电池集成在一起，并且已经证明了可靠的性能。虽然大量的学术工作集中在基于近红外cqd的PV和电池上，但近红外PV/B混合系统的研究方向仍然有些混乱和不平衡。本文的重点是：(1)详细分析了CQDs，包括其化学和物理性质及其在近红外光伏电池中的应用；(2)总结了过去和现在可用于PV/B系统的近红外CQDPVs和电池的文献，综合了各种信息来源。本文旨在为该领域的专业人士提供新的见解并确定潜在的未来研究方向。

期刊介绍： Chemistry—An Asian Journal is an international high-impact journal for chemistry in its broadest sense. The journal covers all aspects of chemistry from biochemistry through organic and inorganic chemistry to physical chemistry, including interdisciplinary topics. Chemistry—An Asian Journal publishes Full Papers, Communications, and Focus Reviews. A professional editorial team headed by Dr. Theresa Kueckmann and an Editorial Board (headed by Professor Susumu Kitagawa) ensure the highest quality of the peer-review process, the contents and the production of the journal. Chemistry—An Asian Journal is published on behalf of the Asian Chemical Editorial Society (ACES), an association of numerous Asian chemical societies, and supported by the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh, German Chemical Society), ChemPubSoc Europe, and the Federation of Asian Chemical Societies (FACS).
