Azobenzene Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes and Other Templated Photoswitch Molecules for High Energy Density Solar Thermal Fuels
-No emissions-Easily transportable in liquid or powder form-Easy to recharge-Can cycle through energy conversion and release numerous times without degradation-CNT substrate imposes close-packed, highly ordered array of adsorbed photomolecules, which leads to increased volumetric energy density-Enables systematic manipulation of the inter- and intra-molecular interactions, creating a highly effective set of tuning parameters for maximizing both energy storage capacity and storage lifetime of the solar thermal fuel
Clean, renewable, and transportable energy conversion/storage
None
