分子太阳能热（大多数）储能材料可以在其化学键中存储光子能量，并通过外部刺激释放。尽管发现了能够使大多数能量存储的各种分子系统发现，但大多数化合物中低能储存密度的内在限制限制了它们在现实世界中的应用。为了应对这一限制，已经实施了通过利用涉及能量存储和释放过程的相变能量来增加系统的总能量存储能力的方法。从这个角度来看，我们重点介绍了相过渡设计的最新进展，大多数储能化合物，当前设计的挑战以及未来的方向。
Molecular solar thermal (MOST) energy storage materials enable the storage of photon energy within their chemical bonds and the release through external stimulation. Despite the discovery of various molecular systems that enable MOST energy storage, the intrinsic limitation of the low energy-storage density in common MOST compounds restricts their applications in the real world. To counter this limitation, methods have been implemented to increase the total energy storage capacity of the system through harnessing phase change energy involved in the energy storage and release processes. In this perspective, we highlight the recent advances to the designs of phase transition MOST energy storage compounds, the challenges of current designs, and the future directions.
