Light-Responsive Solid–Solid Phase Change Materials for Photon and Thermal Energy Storage
ACS Materials Au, 2022 We report a series of adamantane-functionalized azobenzenes that store photon and thermal energy via reversible photoisomerization in the solid state for molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage. The adamantane unit serves as a 3D molecular separator that enables the spatial separation of azobenzene groups and results in their facile switching ...
