Abstract

Abstract: Photo-assisted rechargeable energy storage devices are a promising strategy to achieve sustainable de-velopment by simultaneously integrating solar energy conversion and supercapacitor storage. Herein, we fabricated a light-sensitive macroporous film based on carbon nanotube (CNT), intercalated with Co₂ V₂ O₇, and then modified by black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQD). Physico-chemical characterization and density functional theory are employed to investigate the improved photo-assisted charge storage capa-bility and the underlying mechanism. It is demonstrated that photo-generated carriers can be separated efficiently, and the formed abundant interfaces could modulate the electronic structure of the electrode, effectively im proving the conductivity. Under visible light, the electrode displays an ultra-high capacity of 138.4 mA h g^-1 (197.9 mA h cm^-3) at 1 A g^-1. Besides, the CNT@Co2 V2 O7 /BPQD supercapacitor shows a maximum energy density of 44.4 Wh kg^-1 (60.0 Wh L^-1) at a power density of 800 W kg^-1 (960 W L^-1) and excellent cyclic stability of 104.8 % after 13,000 charge/discharge cycles. The above improvements are attributed to the reactivity and kinetics of electrochemically active components. This study reveals the synergistic effects of multi-interface on “light, photo-generated charge, and energy storage”and provides new possibilities in the controllable design of novel photo-assisted energy storage devices.
