Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have developed a liquid solar battery that captures sunlight and stores it as thermal energy. This innovative battery, utilizing a specialized organic molecule, offers an energy density of 1.65 MJ/kg, nearly double that of lithium-ion batteries. The technology has potential applications for off-grid energy needs and could enhance energy storage solutions in conjunction with solar power.
