Solar selective absorbers (SSAs) possess high sunlight absorption (300–2500 nm) and low infrared thermal radiative losses (2.5–25 μm), which are undoubtedly the best choice for photothermal conversion process, and SSAs have been widely used in concentrating solar power, solar water heating, and solar drying. Recently, to promote the realization of “double carbon” goal, SSAs have received widespread attentions, many emerging sustainable applications have been developed. In this review, the recent developments of SSAs and their latest sustainable applications in solar‐driven seawater desalination, multistage solar desalination, atmospheric water harvesting (AWH), wastewater treatment, solar thermophotovoltaics (STPVs), hybrid photovoltaic‐thermal (HPVT), solar‐thermoelectric generators (STEG), personal thermal management (PTM), photothermal catalysis, photothermal deicing, and photothermal sterilization, etc. are systematically summarized. Also, the challenges as well as future opportunities of SSAs are discussion. It is expected that this review will effectively complement the published comments on SSAs and provide more inspirations on sustainable applications of SSAs in the future.

“…The quality factor is defined as the underdamped condition of resonance [24,25]. Although the SPR metasurface provides a highly sensitive detection strategy for MC-LR, the quality factor is limited by the intrinsic loss of metal, and the thermal effect of metal inevitably damages the living tissues in case of an in vivo sensing [26][27][28][29].…”

Sensing Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is an important issue for environmental monitoring, as the MC-LR is a common toxic pollutant found in freshwater bodies. The demand for sensitive detection method of MC-LR at low concentrations can be addressed by metasurface-based sensors, which are feasible and highly efficient. Here, we demonstrate an all-dielectric metasurface for sensing MC-LR. Its working principle is based on quasi-bound states in the continuum mode (QBIC), and it manifests a high-quality factor and high sensitivity. The dielectric metasurface can detect a small change in the refractive index of the surrounding environment with a quality factor of ~170 and a sensitivity of ~788 nm/RIU. MC-LR can be specifically identified in mixed water with a concentration limit of as low as 0.002 μg/L by a specific recognition technique for combined antigen and antibody. Furthermore, the demonstrated detection of MC-LR can be extended to the identification and monitoring of other analytes, such as viruses, and the designed dielectric metasurface can serve as a monitor platform with high sensitivity and high specific recognition capability.

Solar-enabled thermal management is emerging as a promising candidate to exploit green, low-cost and efficient heat-related applications, which has drawn extensive intensity for the development of solar-to-thermal materials with high-performance and desirable functionality. However, there still remain considerable challenges, such as the sharp temperature fluctuations under water-related environment, high cost, complex fabrication approaches and limited energy efficiency. Here, superhydrophobic and photothermal nanostructured Janus membranes composed of hierarchical candle soot and transparent polydimethylsiloxane is proposed in a simple, low-cost, and effective way. The achieved membranes can readily adapt to curved surfaces and enable efficient solar-to-thermal capability of ≈68 °C under 1 sun and good water-repellant property of ≈159.7. Therefore, it can still maintain stable temperature without remarkable temperature decline when exposed to the high-moisture environment. Also, the asymmetric structure can further endow the membrane with declined heat dissipation for high-performance thermal management. Moreover, it can further function as a self-supported agricultural film to continuously heat the soils with stable temperature for efficient bean growth, demonstrating significant potential in the new generation of urban agriculture.
