- Scientists “bottle the sun” with a liquid battery that stores solar energy
UC Santa Barbara scientists have developed a liquid battery that stores solar energy in molecules, inspired by DNA and photochromic sunglasses. The material can hold energy for years and has higher energy density than lithium-ion batteries, potentially eliminating the need for traditional electrical grids or bulky batteries.
