Abstract of thesis
A novel photo-rechargeable battery-concept
Micro Energy Harvesting (MEH) is a sustainable concept for power generation in low power systems. The idea of MEH is to harvest energy from the ambience, such as light, heat or vibrations, then to convert it into electrical energy and finally to store it. By this it becomes possible to make small scale renewable systems more energy-efficient and autonomous.
The novel battery-concept, which is to be investigated, consists of a photosensitive anode and a counter-electrode, which uses air as the oxidant when being unloaded. That’s why it is possible to charge the battery by light-irradiation. In this context a special feature is the physical working principal, which avoids overcharging of the battery. As a consequence of this there is no additional monitoring and regulation of the charging-process required.
The counter electrode of this cell-concept uses ambient air as the oxidant, while the cell is unloading. This affects a high energy-density of the cell, because the oxidant does not have to be carried not “on board” of the cell.
The manufacturing-process of this cell-type is quite simple. Along the whole process-chain, no cleanroom processes is required. Beside of that, the used materials are cheap and do not harm the environment.
