Photothermal materials: A key platform enabling highly efficient water evaporation driven by solar energy
Abstract
Abstract Conversion and utilization of solar energy is one of the most important strategies being proposed to mitigate the foreshadowed global energy crisis and environmental issues. Amongst the various solar energy conversion pathways, solar-thermal energy conversion is the most straightforward and efficient. Photothermal materials form the key platform for efficient light-to-heat conversion. The generated heat can be utilized to drive steam generation, which has recently attracted widespread and intense research interests due to its great potential to be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly technique for clean-water production. In recent years, extensive efforts have been devoted to improving the efficiency of solar steam generation. The exploration of photothermal materials with extremely high light-to-heat conversion efficiency as well as innovative evaporation configurations paved the way for eminent practical applications. In this article, the photothermal effect of different categories of light absorbing materials is reviewed and discussed. The applications of a series of representative photothermal materials for solar-steam generation are introduced and summarized in detail to reflect the state-of-the-art for solar evaporation. Finally, a brief discussion of the future research perspectives in this field are proposed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
