Researchers from China redesigned the internal structure of wood, converting it to a porous sponge that can absorb sunlight and store it as heat. The engineered material can be used to generate electricity from solar energy even when the Sun is no longer shinning. Wooden boards can be transformed into solar panel frames or structures that support photovoltaic cells, allowing for energy generation from sunlight, 2. The transformation of wood into energy exploits its organic constituents, specifically cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, 3.
