These particular requirements can be met using energy storage systems based on Lithium-Ion traction batteries or supercapacitors. To fully utilize the capabilities of the storage systems, it is
Along with other emerging power sources such as miniaturized energy harvesters which cannot work alone, various miniaturized on-chip Electrochemical Energy Storage (EES) devices, such
The application of semiconductors to new energy conversion and storage has been widely reported. Coupling devices through the joining principle is an emergent frontier.
In the ongoing quest to make electronic devices ever smaller and more energy efficient, researchers want to bring energy storage directly onto microchips, reducing the losses incurred when power is transported between various device components.
To be effective, on-chip energy storage must be able to store a large amount of energy in a very small space and deliver it quickly when needed – requirements that can’t be met with existing technologies.
Accordingly, designing efficient miniaturized energy storage devices for energy delivery or harvesting with high-power capabilities remains a challenge (1). Electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), also known as supercapacitors, store the charge through reversible ion adsorption at the surface of high-surface-area carbons.
Semiconductor electrochemistry is a particularly relevant and fundamental area for fuel cell devices, including ion transport in fuel cells . Semiconductor heterostructure-based fuel cells are convenient to scale using the energy levels relative to the vacuum level (VL) compared to those with an intrinsic ionic conductor.
Moreover, state-of-the-art miniaturized electrochemical energy storage systems—microsupercapacitors and microbatteries—currently face safety, packaging, materials and microfabrication challenges preventing on-chip technological readiness2,3,6, leaving an opportunity for electrostatic microcapacitors.
