Principle of multifunctional energy storage lighting device

What are the multifunctional energy storage devices?

The multifunctional devices can be used as energy storage devices, and can also monitor the energy status in situ according to the color change. In this review, we introduce the working principle, device structure, and the possibility of the multi-functional combination of electrochromic energy storage devices.

Why are multifunctional devices attractive?

Multifunctional devices integrated with electrochromism and energy storage or energy production functions are attractive because these devices can be used as an effective approach to address the energy crisis and environmental pollution in society today.

What are light-assisted energy storage devices?

Light-assisted energy storage devices thus provide a potential way to utilize sunlight at a large scale that is both affordable and limitless.

Are solar energy storage devices a conflict of interest?
