Molecular solar thermal energy storage in Dewar pyrimidone beyond 1.6 MJ/kg Storing sunlight in a compact and rechargeable form remains a central challenge for solar energy utilization. Molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage systems, which harness photon energy and rel...

Exciting chemsky work out First Release in @science.org from @gracegdhan.bsky.social and collaborators, scrunching up pyrimidones so tight with UV light that the strain release can boil water!

How about a greener alternative medium for molecular solar thermal energy storage!?🌊🌊☀️

Have a look at our latest work "Surfactant-enabled strategy for molecular solar thermal energy storage systems in water"

(✨📚First paper as first author!✨)

This week I had the opportunity to attend the great GRC Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors at Colby-Sawyer College, ☀️New Hampshire. A very enriching experience, full of interesting topics, meetings and fun!!🧪🏓🦐

Earlier this year, we showed how #photoswitches can add storage and efficiency to photovoltaics. You can read the paper in Joule here #openaccess

And a nice article about the work in #Chemistryworld
