Sunlight-powered switches belong to a subclass of solar thermal batteries that use the molecules from the azobenzene family to store light and discharge heat. Once azobenzene exists as the cis isomer, its molecules return to the trans conformation through thermal relaxation or photo-initiation. The Advantages of Using SEBS SEBS is stable under thermal and ultraviolet influence, as well as being widely accessible in a variety of styrene concentrations, allowing for specific manipulation of the free volume by altering the stiff and elastic blocks of the polymeric backbone.
They also studied the impact of linking azobenzene and multi-walled carbon nanotubes for forming a percolated thermally conductive channel.
