The development of a new photoaccelerated rechargeable lithium-ion battery utilizing SnO2/TiO2 as a multifunctional anode has led to significant improvements in lithiation kinetics, electrochemical reversibility, and capacity without capacity loss after 100 cycles. This breakthrough offers a promising pathway to overcoming the energy density limitations in lithium-ion batteries through efficient conversion and storage of solar energy.
Powering lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) by light-irradiation will bring a paradigm shift in energy-storage technologies. Herein, a photoaccelerated rechargeable LIB employing SnO2/TiO2 heterojunction nanoarrays as a multifunctional anode is developed. The electron-hole pairs generated by the LixTiO2 (x >= 0) under light irradiation synergistically enhance the lithiation kinetics and electrochemical reversibility of both SnO2 and TiO2. Specifically, the electrons can quickly pour into the SnO2 and the generated Sn due to the more positive conduction band potentials (vs TiO2), and mean while the holes also promote the intercalation of Li+ into TiO2 by reaching charge balance. A remarkable increase in areal specific capacity is therefore achieved from 1.91 to 3.47 mAh cm(-2) at 5 mA cm(-2). More impressively, there is no capacity loss even through 100 cycles, which is the best report for photorechargeable LIBs to date, owing to the strong and stable photoresponse current. This finding exhibits a feasible pathway to break the limitation in the energy density of LIBs by the efficient conversion and storage of solar energy.
