Organic Photochromes for Solar Energy Storage

  • Chapter
Organic Photochromes

Abstract

Current research efforts in the field of photochemical conversion of solar energy are focusing on the following options:

  1. 1)

    photochemical dissociation of water under the influence of metalcomplex catalysts [1–5];

  2. 2)

    photoelectrochemistry based on photoelectronic transfers, the photogalvanic effect, stabilization of the products of photoelectronic transfers in the electric double layer at the phase boundary, etc. [4–10];

  3. 3)

    reversible thermal dissociation of inorganic compounds (e.g., NH4HSO4) upon exposure to light with the use of the latent heat of melting [9–11];

  4. 4)

    photosynthesis [9,10,12].
