A photo- and electro-thermal film can convert sunlight and electricity into heat to solve icing problems. Combination of them provides an efficient strategy for all-day anti-/de-icing. However, only opaque surfaces have been reported, due to the mutual exclusiveness between photon absorption and transmission. Herein, a highly transparent and scalable solution-processed photo-electro-thermal film is reported, which exhibits an ultra-broadband selective spectrum to separate the visible light from sunlight and a countertrend suppress of emission in longer wavelength. It absorbs ≈ 85% of invisible sunlight (ultraviolet and near-infrared) for light-heat conversion, meanwhile maintains luminous transmittance > 70%. The reflection of mid-infrared leads to low emissivity (0.41), which further preserves heat on the surface for anti-/de-icing purpose. This ultra-broadband selectivity enables temperature elevation > 40 °C under 1-sun illumination and the mutual support between photo-thermal and electro-thermal effects contributes to > 50% saving of electrical consumption under weak solar exposure (0.4-sun) for maintaining unfrozen surfaces at −35 °C environment. The reverberation from photo-electro-thermal and super-hydrophobic effects illustrates a lubricating removal of grown ice in short time (< 120 s). The self-cleaning ability and the durability under mechanical, electrical, optical, and thermal stresses render the film stable for long-term usage in all-day anti-/de-icing applications.

Fluorescent fluorine-doped graphene quantum dots (F-GQDs) have been synthesized via the hydrothermal method using long-chain polymer polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as the precursor. Due to the unique molecular structure of PVDF, a possible synthesis process of F-GQDs has been put forward. F-GQDs have adjustable emission wavelength by simply adjusting the concentration of the solution. As the concentration increases, the emission wavelength of F-GQDs gradually red shifts from 455 nm (blue) to 551 nm (yellow-green). In addition, F-GQDs also exhibit a sensitive fluorescence response to water content in organic solvents, and the ultralow detections limit are 0.056% in ethanol and 0.124% in DMF. Besides, due to strong UV absorption capacity, a photothermal film is fabricated by embedding F-GQDs in PDMS. The temperature of F-GQDs/PDMS polymer film can reach 33.4 o C under simulated sunlight, while the maximum temperature of blank PDMS film only reach 29.4 o C. Based on this phenomenon, a new type of anti-counterfeiting device is designed by combining F-GQDs/PDMS film with temperature change ink. Graphical abstract

Solar-control window film is an effective solution for reducing indoor cooling energy consumption. In this study, a modified 1T-phase molybdenum disulfide (M1T-MoS2)/phenolic resin composite film with low reflectivity, high imaging clarity and broadband optical blocking performance was developed. To enhance the dispersion of 1T-phase MoS2 nanosheets within the resin matrix, surface functionalization was achieved using trimethoxysilylpropanethiol (TOPE), exploiting the strong chemical affinity between thiol groups and sulfur vacancies. Furthermore, in situ curing of the phenolic resin facilitated dehydration condensation between silanol groups on the modified nanosheets and hydroxymethyl groups of the resin, resulting in the nanosheets being firmly anchored within the polymer network. The improved dispersion of the metallic-like M1T-MoS2 nanosheets allows the M1T-MoS2/phenolic resin film, with a thickness of only 40 μm and a filler content of 1.75 wt %, to achieve a light shading efficiency exceeding 85% for visible and near-infrared light below 1500 nm. Additionally, the film demonstrates high imaging clarity and a low visible-light reflectance of approximately 7%, contributing to the reduction of glare and light pollution caused by excessive reflection from window films. Experimental photothermal efficiency tests and finite element analysis demonstrated that the film’s high light-shading performance was primarily due to its strong optical absorption rather than reflection. This study presents an effective approach for fabricating broadband solar control window films and provides a strategy to enhance the stability of 1T-phase MoS2 in practical applications. These findings contribute to expanding the applications of 1T-MoS2 in composite materials and energy-related fields.
