DNA-Inspired Liquid Solar Battery Stores Sunlight as Heat
TL;DR
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara unveiled a liquid solar battery that captures sunlight and stores it indefinitely in chemical bonds using a DNA-inspired pyrimidone molecule (MOST technology), releasing heat on demand. With an energy density of about 1.65 MJ/kg—roughly double that of lithium‑ion batteries—the system could heat homes or power off‑grid applications without relying on the electrical grid.
