Molecular solar thermal
Les systèmes solaires thermiques moléculaires captent et stockent l'énergie solaire grâce à la photoisomérisation réversible de molécules spécialisées.

Les systèmes solaires thermiques moléculaires (MOST) stockent l'énergie solaire directement dans les liaisons chimiques de molécules photosensibles, notamment le couple norbornadiène-quadricyclane, par photoisomérisation réversible. Les photons incidents font passer la molécule d'un état fondamental stable à un état excité. haute énergie isomère de valence, qui conserve l'énergie stockée — potentiellement pendant des mois — jusqu'à ce qu'un déclencheur catalytique initie la réaction inverse, libérant de la chaleur à la demande.

Les performances du système dépendent du rendement quantique, du coefficient d'extinction molaire adapté au spectre solaire, de la densité d'énergie par molécule, de la barrière d'énergie d'activation de l'isomérisation inverse et de la résistance à la fatigue à long terme lors de cycles répétés. La fonctionnalisation moléculaire par l'ajustement des substituants et l'utilisation de liaisons conjuguées, les photoréacteurs à flux continu et la conception guidée par la théorie de la fonctionnelle de la densité (DFT) constituent les principaux axes de recherche actuels.

Abstract: Metallaphotoredox catalysis merges the powerful bond-forming abilities of transition metal catalysis with unique electron or energy transfer pathways accessible in photoexcited states, injecting new vitality into organic synthesis. However, most transition metal catalysts cannot be excited by visible light. Thus, prevalent metallaphotoredox catalytic systems require dual catalysts: a transition metal catalyst and a separate photosensitizer. This leads to inefficient electron transfer between the[...]
