Molecular photoswitches that can both convert and store energy could be used to make solar energy harvesting more efficient. At present, solar energy is either used directly to generate electricity, or indirectly via the energy stored in heat reservoirs. This corresponds to a closed cycle of energy capture, storage and release.

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 Washington State University and the University of Nevada developed a novel process for synthesizing dense jet fuel from mint, pine, gumweed, eucalyptus or other plants. Cyclic hydrocarbons are molecular compounds with structures that can store high levels of energy. Spain, Brian J. Terpenoids (e.g.,

Researchers at the University of Manchester (UK) have developed a graphene-based nano-rectifier (“ballistic rectifier”) that can convert waste heat to electricity. The nano-rectifier was built by a team led by Professor Aimin Song and Dr. Ernie Hill, in collaboration with a team at Shandong University (China). —Song et al.
