Advances in photothermal regulation strategies: from efficient solar heating to daytime passive cooling

“…209,210 Since their discovery in 2011, MXenes have been deeply studied by researchers and used in sensors, supercapacitors, photocatalysis, electromagnetic shielding, and other applications. 211,212 From the photothermal conversion perspective, the conversion mechanism and superior structure designs are highlighted in this section.…”

Recent advances on catalysts for photocatalytic selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline

“…LSPR is a physical optical phenomenon. It uses the evanescent wave that penetrates the metallic membrane when the light is fully reflected the interface between the glass and the metal film, which induces free electrons in the metal to generate surface plasmons (Xie et al, 2022). LSPR effect mainly exists in plasmonic metals, such as Au, Cu and Ag (Zheng et al, 2014;Kavitha and Kumar, 2019;Wang et al, 2021;Silva et al, 2022).…”

Roof tile-inspired 3D arch evaporators based on Ti3C2Tx/MoSe2 photothermal nanocomposites for efficient solar desalination

“…The excellent wastewater puri-cation ability of Ti 3 C 2 T x /MoSe 2 can be attributed to the Schottky junction effect at the interface, which inhibits the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. 54 It shows a catalytic effect in the process of photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. The organic pollutants on the surface of Ti 3 C 2 T x /MoSe 2 decompose to CO 2 and H 2 O by the oxidation and reduction action of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.…”
