A team of researchers has used a quantum computing method to find a particularly efficient molecular structure for this purpose. As the team describe in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition, their procedure was based on a dataset of more than 400,000 molecules, which they screened to find the optimum molecular structure for solar energy storage materials.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2023-08-optimizing-molecular-photoswitches-solar-energy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Optimizing molecular photoswitches for solar energy harvesting<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Molecular photoswitches that can both convert and store energy could be used to make solar energy harvesting more efficient.
