Herein, we develop a novel composite coating with excellent self-healing and anticorrosion properties activated by photothermal responsive hollow core-shell nanofillers. A photothermal heterojunction Co 9 S 8 @Bi 2 S 3 was prepared and integrated into polyurethane containing disulfide bonds. It is found that the heterojunction has enhanced the light absorption capacity and has increased the number and lifetime of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, making more photogenerated charges pass through the heterojunction interface by reducing interface transfer resistance and releasing heat as well. Under 808 nm near-infrared light irradiation, the photothermal effect of Co 9 S 8 @Bi 2 S 3 can trigger the reconstruction of dynamic disulfide bonds and reversible hydrogen bonds simultaneously to heal coating scratches. The surface characterization and electrochemical test results manifest that the coating containing 2 wt% 10 %-Co 9 S 8 @Bi 2 S 3 nanofillers displayed excellent self-healing and anti-corrosive capabilities. The self-healing efficiency of nearly 90 % was achieved after five-time cutting-healing cycles on the coating. The protection performance of the initial immersion stage could be restored by nearly 100 % after five-time self-healing, and the low-frequency impedance modulus was above 10 8 Ω cm 2 even after 60 days of immersion. This work would provide a new tactic for developing multi-cycle self-healing coatings triggered by photothermal effects.

A microanalytical technique based on the photothermal effect in conjunction with back-scattering interferometry (BSI) using a single laser beam was developed for quantitative detection of heavy metals. After the chromogenic reaction of an analyte in a capillary tube, the photothermal effect induced by irradiation with the same laser beam leads to a change of the refractive index of the solution, which can be “quantified” using the BSI technique. For prove-of-concept, Cu(II) was chosen as the trial analyte, for which the solution changes to purplish through reacting with the chromogenic reagent; a single laser beam of 532 nm was adapted for both inducing the photothermal effect and realizing BSI detection. With as little as 1.0 μL solution, a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.10 mg/L for Cu(II) was achieved. In addition, the versatility of the technique was demonstrated by detecting other two heavy metal ions, Fe(II) and Cr(VI), with limits of detection of 0.06 mg/L and 0.04 mg/L, respectively. The demonstrated detection sensitivity, application versatility, and instrumentation simplicity of this new technique promises it as a practical tool for environmental monitoring and beyond.

Multifunctional textiles have attracted widespread attention with the improvement of awareness of health. Especially, the fluorine-free superhydrophobic and conductive cellulose fiber-based fabrics have received intensive interest due to their broad and high-value applications. Herein, the copper sulfide nanoflowers were in-situ deposited on cotton fabric followed by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) treatment for encapsulating CuS nanoflowers and obtaining superhydrophobicity, recorded as Cot@PTA@CuS@PDMS. Cot@PTA@CuS@PDMS possesses superhydrophobicity with contact angles of 153.0 ± 0.4°, photothermal effect, excellent UV resistance, good conductivity, and anti-fouling. Interestingly, the resistance of Cot@PTA@CuS@PDMS is significantly reduced from 856.4 to 393.1 Ω under simulated sunlight irradiation with 250 mW/cm 2 . Notably, the resistance can be slightly recovered after shutting off simulated sunlight. Besides, Cot@PTA@CuS@PDMS has efficient oil-water separation efficiency for corn germ oil and castor oil, respectively. Briefly, this work provides a novel, facile, and promising strategy to fabricate multifunctional fiber-based textiles with the reversible change of resistance under simulated sunlight irradiation, inspiring more scholars to control the resistance change of textiles by light irradiation.

The direct photocatalytic oxidation of methane to value-added chemicals has garnered considerable interest in recent years. However, achieving high productivity while maintaining high selectivity at an appreciable methane conversion rate remains a formidable challenge. Here, we present photochemically-triggered and photothermally-enhanced oxidative coupling of methane to multi-carbon C 2+ alkanes over an Au and CeO 2 nanoparticle-decorated ZnO photocatalyst, which exhibits a record-breaking C 2+ production rate of 17,260 μmol g −1 h −1 with ~90% C 2+ selectivity under wide-spectrum light irradiation without a secondary source of heating. Comprehensive characterizations and computational studies reveal that CH 4 activation is a photochemical reaction initiated by ultraviolet light-excited ZnO, and the introduction of CeO 2 substantially enhances the activation of CH 4 and O 2 due to the cooperative interaction between Au and CeO 2 . Concurrently, Au nanoparticles capture visible and near-infrared light to generate localized heating, which greatly promotes the subsequent desorption of produced methyl radical for C–C coupling prior to undergoing further undesired overoxidation.

The ice covering of transmission lines tends to cause flashover along the surface, and even topple the tower in serious cases, which seriously threatens the safe operation of the power grid. Here, a dual active and passive anti-icing strategy was designed. The active deicing was achieved by photothermal effect, and passive anti-icing was based on superhydrophobicity. On the one hand, the semi-embedded candle ash gives the surface excellent photothermal characteristics, which can quickly melt the ice through sunlight; On the other hand, the superhydrophobic coating based on candle ash demonstrates excellent passive anti-icing performance, which reduces ice adhesion as small as 3.0 kPa and delayed freezing time as long as 1096 s. Furthermore, the semi-embedded structure enables the superhydrophobic coating excellent anti-abrasion ability and outstanding self-cleaning property. This combination of active and passive anti-icing strategies provides a reference for the current anti-icing and deicing methods of transmission lines.

The photothermal effect has been recognized as a universal promoter in various photocatalytic reactions. However, in many promising nanocomposite systems, the integration of heterogeneous photothermal materials with photocatalysts remains a significant technical challenge. Focusing on the emerging graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) based photocatalyst, we identified that the segregation of the introduced photothermal particles results from the dynamic instability of the original solid-solid dispersion system, which essentially origins from a sluggish two-step solid-liquid-solid phase transformation of urea towards g-C 3 N 4 . By taking advantages of the photothermal particles to be loaded, we developed a photothermal-polymerization strategy to create a rapid heating to overcome their undesired segregation during g-C 3 N 4 formation. The strategy enables a one-step loading of various photothermal particles on the g-C 3 N 4 , presenting a versatile methodology. This sustainable technique enhances the synthesis yield of g-C 3 N 4 by 352 % with reduced energy consumption. The derived photothermal particles-dispersed g-C 3 N 4 shows 290 % improvement in photocatalytic CO 2 reduction compared to the separated system, which is obtained from the traditional heating synthesis. Beyond enriching the accessible categories of composite catalysts, this study may deepen physiochemical insights into the dynamic transformation of the novel dispersion system.

Rational design of photocatalyst to maximize the use of sunlight is one of the issues to be solved in photocatalysis technology. In this study, the CuFe 2 O 4 @C/Cd 0.9 Zn 0.1 S (CFO@C/CZS) S-scheme photocatalyst with photothermal effect was synthesized by ultrasonic self-assembly combined with calcination. The dark CFO@C absorbed visible light and partly converted into heat to promote the hydrogen evolution reaction. The presence of heterojunctions inhibited the photogenerated electron-hole recombination. The graphite-carbon layer provided a stable channel for electron transfer, and the presence of magnetic CFO made recycle easier. Under the action of photothermal assistance and heterojunction, the hydrogen evolution rate of the optimal CFO@C/CZS was 80.79 mmol g −1 h −1 , which was 2.55 times and 260.61 times of that of pure CZS and CFO@C, respectively. Notably, the composite samples also exhibit excellent stability and a wide range of environmental adaptability. Through experimental tests and first-principles simulation calculation methods, the plausible mechanism of photoactivity enhancement was proposed. This work provided a feasible strategy of photothermal assistance for the development of heterojunction photocatalysts with distinctive hydrogen evolution.

The icing phenomenon in nature can cause serious economic losses and security concerns. Eco-friendly anti-icing and deicing surfaces have been developed to address these issues. In this study, a photothermal superhydrophobic coating was fabricated by a facile polymerization process in the presence of micro–nano structured SiO2/TiN particles followed by a two-step spraying technology. The optimal coating displays remarkable superhydrophobic performance with a water contact angle of 159.1° and a water roll-off angle as low as 1.2°; it survives tape peeling, Taber abrasion, and solution immersion and demonstrates weather and corrosion resistance. More importantly, the SiO2/TiN coating shows excellent anti-icing/deicing property and can withstand multiple icing/thawing cycles. The excellent anti-icing/deicing performance is attributed to the robust superhydrophobic surface and the photothermal effect of TiN nanoparticles. Our fluorine-free design strategy provides important guidance for actual large-scale eco-friendly anti-icing/deicing application.

Micro-sized particles of Fe x Rh 100− x ( x = 50, 48, 45, 40, and 35) binary alloys were synthesized by a solid-phase reduction method and their structural properties, magnetic properties and cytotoxicity have been characterized. From X-ray diffraction results, the Fe 50 Rh 50 alloy is in a single chemically ordered α ′ phase while the face-centered cubic disordered γ phase arises and increases with Rh content when x is smaller than 50. The magnetization behavior of the alloys demonstrates that the α ′ phase consists of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic components due to the nonuniformity of elements in the particulate alloys. The maximal magnetic entropy change and the relative refrigeration capacity of the Fe 50 Rh 50 particles reach 9.7 J/kg K and 230 J/kg, respectively, with a 0–3 T magnetic field change. Despite its moderate magnetic entropy among the first-order transition materials, Fe 50 Rh 50 microparticles are promising for biomedical applications due to its large relative cooling power and low cytotoxicity.

Rational design of photocatalysts with heterostructure is of scientific and technological interest for taking full advantage use of solar energy. Here we demonstrate a facile method to fabricate Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S/Bi 2 S 3 composite nanospheres , in which Bi 2 S 3 nanorods grown on the surface of Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S nanospheres. The as-prepared Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S@ZnS core-shell nanospheres play a vital role in formation of the Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S@Bi 2 S 3 composite nanospheres. The Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S/Bi 2 S 3 composites show both excellent photocatalysis and photothermal effect. Nanorods-like Bi 2 S 3 show wide optical absorption from visible to near infrared light and photocurrent response, which enable enhanced full spectrum absorption of the heterostructured photocatalyst and photocurrent for overall photocatalytic performance. Additionally, Bi 2 S 3 nanorods with photothermal effect would synergistically increase the temperature of the micro-environment around the catalysts of Zn x Cd 1−x S. Thus, the Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S/Bi 2 S 3 composites exhibit a little better photocatalytic activity than that of pure Zn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S. The present study provides a promising strategy for the rational design of efficient sulfide semiconductor heterojunction catalysts for making the utmost of solar fuels in dealing with organic pollutants from wastewater.

Up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) stimulated by near-infrared (NIR) light have received immense interest for their potential applications in many fields. In this work, Nd 3+ - and Yb 3+ -sensitized Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 (BiT x :Nd 3+ /Yb 3+ , 0.005 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) UCNPs with thermometric and photo-thermal (PT) functions were successfully synthesized by a convenient co-precipitation approach, and the phase and morphologies were characterized. Under 980 nm excitation, BiT x :Nd 3+ /Yb 3+ UCNPs exhibited remarkable multiple emissions in the region from 450 to 900 nm. The visible and NIR emissions were tightly dependent on the Nd 3+ concentration and the strongest NIR emissions were obtained in sample BiT0.3:Nd 3+ /Yb 3+ . The possible UC mechanisms and processes were proposed. Furthermore, the capability of the UCNPs as thermometers was probed based on the thermo-responsive fluorescence intensity ratio technique in the temperature range 303–573 K. The maximum sensitivity (S max ) of BiT0.3:Nd 3+ /Yb 3+ was determined to be as high as 0.032 K -1 . Meanwhile, PT effect was evaluated by monitoring the variation of surface temperature of the sample as functions of irradiation time and power density. Conspicuous PT effect was confirmed and the maximum temperature induced by laser was about 91 °C. These results reveal that BiT0.3:Nd 3+ /Yb 3+ UCNPs has promising potential applications as optical thermometer and heater.

Antibacterial agents with enzyme-like properties and bacteria-binding ability have provided an alternative method to efficiently disinfect drug-resistance microorganism. Herein, a Fe 3 O 4 @MoS 2 -Ag nanozyme with defect-rich rough surface was constructed by a simple hydrothermal method and in-situ photodeposition of Ag nanoparticles. The nanozyme exhibited good antibacterial performance against E. coli (~69.4%) by the generated ROS and released Ag + , while the nanozyme could further achieve an excellent synergistic disinfection (~100%) by combining with the near-infrared photothermal property of Fe 3 O 4 @MoS 2 -Ag. The antibacterial mechanism study showed that the antibacterial process was determined by the collaborative work of peroxidase-like activity, photothermal effect and leakage of Ag + . The defect-rich rough surface of MoS 2 layers facilitated the capture of bacteria, which enhanced the accurate and rapid attack of OH and Ag + to the membrane of E. coli with the assistance of local hyperthermia. This method showed broad-spectrum antibacterial performance against Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, drug-resistant bacteria and fungal bacteria. Meanwhile, the magnetism of Fe 3 O 4 was used to recycle the nanozyme. This work showed great potential of engineered nanozymes for efficient disinfection treatment.
