Abstract

Molecular solar thermal energy storage (MOST) systems offer an approach to harnessing solar energy by converting, storing, and releasing it within chemical bonds. This study introduces ethynylene-linked 1,2-dihydro-1,2-azaborinines as highly promising candidates for MOST systems, exhibiting exceptional energy densities and extended storage times. With an outstanding energy density of 1229 kJ/kg, a half-life exceeding 36 days, and an absorption onset wavelength of 350 nm, these dihydroazaborinines satisfy the key criteria for optimal MOST performance. Their remarkable properties make them a highly promising basis for developing materials capable of efficiently converting and storing solar energy.
