Researchers at Sweden's Chalmers University of Technology have developed an advanced energy system that stores solar energy in liquid form and generates electricity. This system, called the Molecular Solar Thermal (MOST) system, has been in development for over a decade. Even though lithium batteries are great, they can still be costly and, depending on the chemistry, there can be safety concerns. There are ways we can store solar energy more directly though. and. . In 2018, scientists in Sweden developed “solar thermal fuel,” a specialized fluid that can reportedly store energy captured from the sun for up to 18 years. The system could outperform expensive lithium-ion options.
