“…It is worth noting how the mixtures response is controlled by the azobenzene compounds, even though these only represent 5% of their overall molar composition. Despite the low energy values (8.79-9.28 mJ cm À3 range), compared to inorganic relaxors (180-4000 mJ cm À3 range 64,65 ) these results illustrate the capacity of our mixtures (and pristine materials) to harvest energy.…”
We have assessed the potential of light-responsive bent-core liquid crystals as candidate materials for energy conversion and storage applications. Samples comprise two chromophore bent-core compounds containing either one (IP33) or...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
