In this paper, we demonstrate a compact, chip-based device that allows for direct storage of solar energy as chemical energy that is released in the form of heat on demand and then converted into electrical energy in a controlled way.
Their suitable photophysical properties let us combine them individually with a microelectromechanical ultrathin thermoelectric chip to use the stored solar energy for electrical power generation. The generator can produce, as a proof of concept, a power output of up to 0.1 nW (power output per unit volume up to 1.3 W m −3 ).
It is noteworthy that solar energy is the most abundant energy resource on Earth, and maximizing the use of solar power can potentially meet the intensive demand for power while reducing detrimental effects to the environment.
There is an urgent need for alternative compact technologies that can derive and store energy from the sun, especially the large amount of solar heat that is not effectively used for power generation.
The generator can produce, as a proof of concept, a power output of up to 0.1 nW (power output per unit volume up to 1.3 W m −3 ). Our results demonstrate that such a molecular thermal power generation system has a high potential to store and transfer solar power into electricity and is thus potentially independent of geographical restrictions.
However, harvesting thermal energy from the environment to generate uninterrupted electricity is still challenging. Herein, a power device to simultaneously harvest energy from the sun and cold space based on a microfabricated thermoelectric generator (TEG) integrated with a solar absorber (SA) and radiative cooling emitter (RCE) is reported.
