Storing sunlight at low temperatures?

Artificial leaves that convert sunlight to fuels could provide a sustainable energy future. But several challenges must be overcome to improve their economic viability. Publishing in Energy & Environmental Science, Kolbach, Rehfeld, and May describe the potential of decentralized hydrogen production using thermally integrated architectures that operate under sub-freezing temperatures.

Automated summary

Artificial leaves have the potential to convert sunlight into fuels for a sustainable energy future, but economic viability is a current challenge. Decentralized hydrogen production using thermally integrated architectures operating under sub-freezing temperatures shows promise for addressing this issue.
