Working Towards Creation of Non-Electric Battery to Store Solar Energy

For years materials chemists have been attempting to develop a new type of battery that is capable of storing solar or other light-sourced energy in chemical bonds instead of electrons, one that will discharge the energy on demand as heat rather than as electricity – addressing the necessity for long-standing, stable, efficient storage of solar energy.
