“…The classical temperature control techniques employ heating sources to conduct the heat transfer, which can be time consuming and nonuniform over the target surface. In recent decades, plasmon resonances in nanostructures, especially metallic nanoparticles, have been proved to be efficient in regulating localized heat rapidly and feasibly. , These nanometer-sized heaters are capable of harvesting light due to the internal decay of hot carriers, facilitating many practical applications, such as photothermal therapy, neuron activation, phase separation, , gas sensing, and heterogeneous catalysis. , However, localized heating achieved by metallic nanoparticles still suffers from poor space precision of heating due to the random distribution of metallic nanoparticles, resulting in bulk heating on the sample. Moreover, the nanocavities created by the tightly positioned metal nanoparticles may also generate excessive heat, leading to overheating on the target. , …”
