Overview

Experiments show four-state conversion for norbornadiene photoswitches, indicating potential in energy storage.

Key Points

  • Conversion between four states occurs with light, acid, base, and heat, enhancing versatility.
  • Photoisomerization quantum yields reached 37% and 24% for norbornadiene variants, demonstrating efficiency.
  • Thermal half-lives of 70 and 205 days represent significant improvements over similar systems.
  • Energy storage densities of 162 and 393 kJ kg-1 enable practical applications in solar thermal energy storage.
