Disruption of a hydrogen-bond network at an Si/PNMPy/electrolyte interface for accelerated ion transfer in solar rechargeable devices
Si/poly(<i>N</i>-methylpyrrole) (PNMPy)-based two-electrode solar rechargeable devices using HClO<sub>4</sub> as the electrolyte exhibit 3-fold and 7-fold higher current densities during photo-charging and dark-discharging processes than does the corresponding H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>-based device. This enhancement originates from a ClO<sub>4</sub><sup>-</sup>-induced disruption of the interfacial hydrogen-bond network, where this disruption can significantly accelerate ion transfer at the PNMPy/HClO<sub>4</sub> interface.
