Trapping sunlight energy into chemical bonds has become an important method for storing renewable energy and releasing it on demand. To illustrate the new catalyst-testing protocol, a cyclic road shows the photoisomerization process trapping sunlight (top) and the back-conversion catalytic reaction releasing heat. The bottom wheel indicates that up to 27 different catalysts were studied. More information can be found in the Research Article by I. Funes-Ardoiz, D. Sampedro and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202303230).
