The liquid storage of solar energy can store it for years and release it

Scientists are constantly developing the so-called MOST technology, which stands for MOlecular Solar Thermal, which is an innovative energy system. It is a practically liquid solar energy store that can store energy for up to 18 years, and if necessary, restore energy using a special catalyst.

Scientists are constantly developing a Fluid solar energy store that could eliminate the biggest problem of these farms

The most important mechanism boils down to the fact that when a molecule of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen comes into contact with sunlight, the atoms in it change their shape and turn into an energy-rich isomer that can be stored in a liquid form. The team at Chalmers developing this technology is currently working with scientists at China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who used a compact thermoelectric generator to convert this heat into electricity.

It is a completely new way of generating electricity from solar energy. This means that we can use solar energy to produce electricity regardless of the weather, time of day, season or geographic location. It is a closed system that can operate without carbon dioxide emissions

Said research leader Kasper Moth-Poulsen of Chalmers University.

The capacity of the MOST system is currently up to 0.1 nW. This not only appears to be of little value, but even so, scientists see great potential in it that could solve the problem of solar energy discontinuity by storing it for months or years and allowing it to be used on demand. That is why the system is currently being improved in terms of its performance and commercial projects.
