Molecular photoswitches that can both convert and store energy could be used to make solar energy harvesting more efficient. An open-access paper on the study is published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition. This corresponds to a closed cycle of energy capture, storage and release.

Well, when an EV is charged, AC (alternating current) electricity from the grid is converted to DC (direct current) electricity, the kind that can be used by a car. This conversion is carried out by either the car’s own converter or a converter located in the charger. V2G: Vehicle to Grid.

The purified hydrogen can be compressed and stored in a tank before it is fed to the dispenser for refueling cars. Rather than delivering hydrogen within compressed gas cylinders on trucks to filling stations, the NEMESIS 2+ system would use the existing infrastructure for storing and transporting diesel and biodiesel.

Leading the boom is the photovoltaic (PV) panel, which converts sunlight into electricity using semiconductors. As electric utilities and policymakers seek solutions for storing and dispatching energy on demand, concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) is once again gaining traction.

Researchers at the University of Manchester (UK) have developed a graphene-based nano-rectifier (“ballistic rectifier”) that can convert waste heat to electricity. Rectifying diodes let electrical current flow in only one direction; mainly used for power supply operation, they convert AC to DC current. Click to enlarge.

NASA , for example, has plans to visit the moon using both robots and humans, and is also considering—with international collaborators—a small orbiting outpost in the next decade. This facility, known as the Lunar Gateway , would store supplies, host visiting astronauts, and facilitate communication between the moon and Earth.
