Photon Energy Storage Device

Photon energy storage refers to technologies that store energy derived from light. One notable example is the Photon Vault, which operates by storing heat energy rather than electricity. This system can output more electricity than it consumes from the grid by utilizing thermal energy, making it an efficient energy storage solution2. Additionally, research has developed high energy-density materials that can store significant amounts of energy, enhancing the potential for photon energy storage applications3. Such a technique is tentatively named "photon energy storage (PES)" in this review. Based on PES, not only we will make innovative progress in energy management, but …

Can photon energy and ambient heat be stored together?

In particular, we show that photon energy and ambient heat can be stored together and released on demand as high-temperature heat, enabled by room-temperature photochemical crystal↔liquid transitions of engineered molecular photoswitches.

How does solar thermal energy storage work?

Unlike the more established conventional solar thermal storage, which uses sunlight to heat, melt or vaporize material, mol. solar thermal energy storage does not require thermal insulation to prevent discharge but relies on the kinetic activation barrier sepg. the two isomers.

Does photon energy drive the upgrading of thermal energy?

Significantly, the ambient heat that is harvested during photochemical melting into liquid of the low-melting-point, metastable isomer can be released as high-temperature heat by recrystallization of the high-melting-point, parent isomer. This reveals that photon energy drives the upgrading of thermal energy in such a hybrid energy system.

Are NBD-QC photoswitches suitable for solar energy storage?

The NBD-QC photoswitches that are capable of absorbing sunlight with estimated solar energy storage efficiencies of up to 3.8% combined with attractive energy storage densities of up to 0.48 MJ kg (-1).
