The ever-increasing penetration of solar energy demands high energy density, safe affordable energy storage systems. We demonstrated a redox flow battery on the basis of the redox targeting reactions of a bifunctional redox mediator - ethyl viologen diiodide (EVI2) with a low-cost pigment material - Prussian blue (PB). Sharing the same I-/I-3(-) based electrolyte, this new battery system can be feasibly integrated with a dye-sensitized TiO2 photoelectrode for photoassisted charging process. The introduction of PB not only increases the energy density up to 117 Wh/L with good cling performance and capacity retention, also instantaneously regenerates I- ensuring a stable I I-/I-3(-) concentration which is crucial to the operation of the photoelectrode. We anticipate that the work presented here may open an intriguing and credible way for the development of integrated all-in-one solar energy conversion and storage devices for large-scale applications.
