aaand it boils water again
It's pretty neat though. It stays liquid the whole time. So you could circulate it to charge it up, somewhere other than where you want to extract the energy. But it looks like it charges from 300nm light (UV) so depending on its absorption bandwidth usefulness is questionable.
there is a problem that it can heat itself up so hard during decomposition that it can just go on without catalyst
