Indian researchers develop photo-assisted, self-chargeable energy storage device utilizing VO2/WO3 cathode
The researchers say the photo-assisted, self-chargeable aqueous Zn-ion energy storage device demonstrated a remarkable 170% increase in charge storage capacity at a constant current density of 0.02 mA/cm2 under consistent light exposure. Self-charging took 140 s to reach the potential of 0.9 V.
