Abstract
A RECHARGEABLE device that stores thermal energy from the sun and converts it to electricity could one day power your smartphone and eliminate the need for batteries. "They were making this heat-to-power generator chip and we were making the molecular solar thermal material, and we basically combined the two", says Moth-Poulsen. Moth-Poulsen says a film version of the molecules and the generator chip could be integrated with a phone or tablet that had a transparent screen to allow light penetration.
