A study published in Science reveals that a team from UCSB has developed a special pyrimidone-based liquid. It absorbs solar energy and stores it via chemical bonds for years, releasing heat over 100°C with a ruthenium catalyst. Featuring high stability and reversibility, it is seen as a disruptive advancement in energy storage.
