TL;DR: In this paper, a molecular solar thermal energy storage (MOST) was proposed, which is based on a norbornadiene derivative with a good solar spectral match, high robustness and energy density of 0.4 MJ kg−1.

TL;DR: This work has rationally designed core moieties with increased photoprotective capacities and a new energy dissipation mechanism and synthesized a series of compounds with tunable properties suitable for their use in sunscreens, and enhanced properties in terms of stability, light energy Dissipation, and toxicity.

TL;DR: In this article, a liquid azobenzene derivative is tested comprehensively for this purpose, and two heterogeneous catalyst systems during testing enabled the construction of a fixed bed flow reactor demonstrating catalyzed back-conversion from cis to trans azobensene at room temperature under flow conditions.

TL;DR: CASPT2//CASSCF methodology was used to carry out a theoretical study on Gadusol, confirming that both forms undergo a rapid deactivation, which very efficiently dissipates light energy as heat.

TL;DR: In this article, experimental and theoretical studies on model mycosporine-like amino acids and gadusol offer a helpful description of the photoprotective mechanism at the molecular level.
