Scientists have engineered a water-soluble pyrimidone molecule that captures solar heat and releases it days or weeks later—enough to boil water on demand.
Comparing heat energy and electrical energy (heated water vs lithium-ion battery) tells you quite a lot of science in this news article. They are not the same, even tho both are joules or watt-hours. Joule also makes things sound huge, because you get to add the mega on the prefix.
