description Background: Solar cell/supercapacitor integrated devices (SCSD) have made some progress in terms of device structure and electrode materials, but there are still many key challenges in controlling electrode performance and improving the efficiency of integrated devices. Aim of review: It is necessary to study how to balance the photoelectric conversion process and the storage process. From the microscopic mechanism of different functional unit materials to the mechanism of macroscopic devices, it is essential to conduct in-depth research. Key scientific concepts of review: Here, the structures and preparation methods of various types of integrated SCSD were introduced. Then, the strategies for improving the overall performance of integrated devices were evaluated. Finally, the key objectives of reducing the cost of materials, increasing the stability and sustainability of devices were highlighted. Better matching of different functional units of devices was also prospected.
