The ultimate source of energy on earth is sunlight, but storing solar energy in molecules and soft matter for subsequent use poses a significant challenge. This symposium aims to uncover and explore fundamental concepts that involve utilizing molecules to capture and store light energy. The focus is on any molecular-level interaction with light; relevant topics include the storage of photon energy and the release as heat in molecular solar thermal storage (MOST) systems, as well as transformation photon energy into different types such as chemical or electrical energy.
The symposium will cover, but is not limited to the following themes:
/ Understanding of interactions of light with molecules
/ Molecules involved in light-mediated transformations
/ Photoswitches for energy management
/ Devices utilizing molecules for light-triggered processes
