A research team has developed Molecular Solar Thermal Energy Storage (MOST), a hybrid device that combines, for the first time ever, molecular solar thermal energy storage with silicon-based photovoltaic energy. MOST consists of organic molecules that, when irradiated with high-energy photons such as ultraviolet light, undergo a chemical transformation and store this energy for later use.
