Artificial Phototropic Systems for Enhanced Light Harvesting Based on a Liquid Crystal Elastomer

Yichen Yan et al.

Summary: An artificial phototropic system has been developed to address the universal problem of oblique-incidence-induced energy-density loss (OEL) in processes involving electromagnetic waves, especially sunlight harvesting. The system is versatile, low cost, mechanically strong, and can achieve large-angle reorientation driven by unconcentrated sunlight. Compared to nonphototropic systems, it can achieve significantly higher output in both lab and real-life applications.
