Integrated multifunctional device based on Bi2S3/Pd: Localized heat channeling for efficient photothermic vaporization and real-time health monitoring

Ultrarobust Photothermal Materials via Dynamic Crosslinking for Solar Harvesting

“…Then, the output power density under a real one sun illumination can be calculated to be as high as 100.9 µW cm −2 (details are shown in Note S2 in the Supporting Information), which is higher than other counterparts reported before (Figure 5e). [ 51–54 ] Moreover, the excellent stability of the output performance is further proved in the cyclic test (Figure 5f,g). The results show that there is no obvious decay observed (<5%) in output performance.…”

Recent developments of hydrogel based solar water purification technology

“…Except for TiO2, MnO2 48,49 , Co3O4 50 , CuO 49,51,52 and other transition metal oxides have been employed as solar absorbers. Furthermore, transition metal sulfides (such as MoS2, [53][54][55][56] Mo2S3, 57 and Bi2S3), 58 nitrides (such as g-C3N4, 59 TiN, 42 and MoN/Mo2N), 60 as well as other novel semiconductors (such as MXene 53,[61][62][63][64][65][66] and CZTSe) 67,68 have also shown up in recent research progress, mostly with reasonable evaporation rates Reproduced with permission. 24 Copyright 2019, American Chemical Society.…”

In addition, liquid metals, such as gallium and indium alloy (EGaIn) with a Ga 2 O 3 (broad bandgap) layer on the surface to prevent the absorption of sunlight, can also be applied as solar absorbers, introducing a dipole layer to narrow the bandgap.…”

Furthermore, additional functions, such as electricity generation, 51,88,101,125,127,129,138,185 fog collection, 146,186,187 oil/water separation, 147 water disinfection, 184 sensing, 58 and photo degradability, 65,80,188 have also been integrated into solar water purification.…”

Fabrication of Monopile Polymer Foams via Rotating Gas Foaming: Hybrid Applications in Solar‐Powered Interfacial Evaporation and Water Remediation

“…Associated with clean water production, several hybrid applications (i.e., decontamination, environmental stimuli response, waste energy conversion, and zero liquid discharge) have been integrated with SGs, delivering other promising functions beyond clean water production and scaling up solar conversion efficiencies. [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] Despite the promising advantages of closed-cell 3D foams over aerogels and hydrogels, fabrication of shape-controlled 3D polymer foams and the specific use in SGs is still in a nascent stage.
