Engineering next generation solar powered batteries

Secondary batteries, such as lithium ion batteries, need to be recharged once the stored energy is used up. In a bid to decrease our dependence on fossil fuels, scientists have been exploring sustainable ways to recharge secondary batteries. Recently, Amar Kumar (graduate student at T. N. Narayanan's lab in TIFR Hyderabad) and his colleagues have assembled a compact lithium ion battery with photosensitive materials that can be directly recharged with solar energy.
