Solar Energy Storage Materials
Solar Energy Storage Materials
Recently discovered designs of solid-state molecular solar thermal energy storage systems are illustrated, including alkenes, imines, and anthracenes that undergo reversible [2 + 2] and [4 + 4] photocycloadditions for photon energy storage and release. The energy storage densities of various molecular design

We discovered donor-acceptor anthracene derivatives that absorb photon energy and store it in strained chemical bonds by dimerizing in the solid state. The compounds exhibit a unique self-activated energy release during their cycloreversion, which addresses a key challenge in extracting the stored energy in molecular solar thermal energy storage systems. This process mirroring the self-ignition of fossil fuels opens up opportunities to use the compounds as effective and renewable solid-state fuels that can release energy rapidly and completely upon initial activation.

Solid & Solution-State Characterization
We report a series of p-functionalized phenylbenzoxazoles that offer remarkable energy storage, exceeding 300 J g−1, for the first time among intermolecular cycloaddition-based molecular solar thermal energy storage systems. The [2 + 2] photocycloaddition of phenylbenzoxazoles generates diazetidine cycloaddu

BTS: Making of Organic Lab
As the fall semester began, Weichu Xu, Ph.D., assistant professor of chemistry, realized the pandemic meant visits to the lab would be restricted for many students and impossible for those in isolation, so they would need extra help to prepare for and understand experiments. He thought videos on lab topics might fill the gap. […]
