A newly established research centre at Copenhagen University has received 35 million Danish kroner to work on solar energy storage.
The centre aims to develop methods for storing solar energy in organic molecular structures and creating solar cells from organic matter.
By the end of the five-year project the head of the centre, Mogens Brøndsted Nielsen, expects to have a molecule that can absorb light in summer, which can then be released when the need arises in winter.
