Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using organic perovskite materials that are used as materials for sensitized solar cells and for which thermally excited charge generation is theoretically predicted, power generation by both light and heat is confirmed, and as a result, the principle of sensitized thermal power generation is proven(ACS Appl. Energy Mater., 2019, 2, 13-18). Also, in the process of checking the end of the battery, it was surprisingly confirmed that the battery "turns off the switch and leaves it in a heat source recovered the power generation performance" after the discharge. This phenomenon was a great discovery, which was completely unexpected at the time of this research grant application stage.
