Hybrid device does power generation and molecular solar thermal energy storage
- westurner 2y ago"Hybrid solar energy device for simultaneous electric power generation and molecular solar thermal energy storage" (2024) https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(24)00288-5 https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(24)00288-5 : > Context & scale: [...] This paper proposes a hybrid device combining a molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage system with PV cell. The MOST system, made of elements like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and nitrogen, avoids the need for rare materials. It serves as an optical filter and cooling agent for the PV cell, improving solar energy utilization and addressing the limitations of conventional PV and storage technologies. - "Solar energy can now be stored for up to 18 years, say scientists" (2022) [ with MOST: Molecular Solar Thermal energy storage method ] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34027606 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34027606 : - "Chip-scale solar thermal electrical power generation" (2022) https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-physical-science/fulltext/S2666-3864(22)00056-X https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-physical-science/fulltext/...
