Thermo-chemical storage of solar energy uses a molecule whose structure changes when exposed to sunlight,

Too bad they can't be built like lithium-ion batteries in three dimensional space. They'll have to be made flat like solar cells, and I assume that once they once they are filled they'll have to be discharged before being filled again. What would be the practical applications?
