However, in terms of photo-thermal conversion and storage by PCMs, as presented in Table 1, the majority of the open literature only considers the latent heat to calculate the photo-thermal conversion efficiency, which cannot reflect the actual photo-thermal conversion performance of PCMs during the whole energy conversion and storage process.
Despite numerous efforts, the multi-function in one device and structural complexity of the integrated device, particularly, the mismatch between energy conversion unit and energy storage unit, lead to relatively low efficiency in the solar energy conversion process and a relatively large energy loss in the energy storage phase. The conversion ...

However, the overall efficiency of 0.77% is even lower than that of some wire-connected devices, which may be attributed to the low energy conversion efficiency and deterioration of PSCs. Liu et al. designed a similar hybrid device (PSCs–supercapacitors) via combining photoelectric conversion and energy storage with a shared carbon electrode.
