Laser irradiation of solar power generation chip

Can laser irradiation regulate energy storage and conversion materials?

Here, the recent efforts on regulating energy storage and conversion materials using laser irradiation are comprehensively summarized. The uniqueness of laser irradiation, such as rapid heating and cooling, excellent controllability, and low thermal budget, is highlighted to shed some light on the further development of this emerging field.

What is laser irradiation used for?

In addition to its traditional use, laser irradiation has found extended application in controlled manipulation of electrode materials for electrochemical energy storage and conversion, which are primarily enabled by the laser-driven rapid, selective, and programmable materials processing at low thermal budgets.

What makes laser irradiation unique?

The uniqueness of laser irradiation, such as rapid heating and cooling, excellent controllability, and low thermal budget, is highlighted to shed some light on the further development of this emerging field.

How can laser irradiation be digitized?

Laser irradiation can be digitized by computer-aided design, permitting a programmable construction of patterned electrodes with arbitrary shapes and sizes (Figure 8 G). 107 Pairing the adjacent two electrodes results in a device ready for capacitive energy harvest.

Can solar energy be stored in a chip?

In this paper, we demonstrate a compact, chip-based device that allows for direct storage of solar energy as chemical energy that is released in the form of heat on demand and then converted into electrical energy in a controlled way.

Can laser irradiation be used to control electrode materials?

Recently, laser irradiation has been demonstrated as a powerful tool for controllably endowing the electrode materials with the aforementioned structural merits yet at low thermal budgets.
