Light-driven photothermocatalysis can provide enough energy to reach light-off temperature of VOCs on the surface of catalyst without auxiliary heat source. Herein, we synthesized noble-metal supported manganese oxide catalysts (xPt/MO) and studied their photothermal catalytic behavior of toluene degradation, where 1 Pt/MO (1 wt.% loading of Pt) and 2 Pt/MO (2 wt.% loading of Pt) exhibited more than 90 % of conversion and 70 % of mineralization under illumination of 200 mW/cm light intensity with a value of 30,000 mL/(g·h) for weight hourly space velocity (WHSV), respectively. Comparison to pure MO, 1 Pt/MO owns a good photothermal catalytic stability for at least 60 h without obvious deactivation. The introduction of Pt promotes the crystallization of MO (verified by XRD and TEM analysis) and enhances the mobility of surface/sub-surface lattice oxygen (verified by O-TPD, H-TPR and CO consumption). It is proved that illumination not only supplies thermal energy to trigger the reaction of toluene oxidation but also further evoke more lattice oxygen on Pt/MO to participate in toluene decomposition.

Developing multifunctional nanomedicines represents a frontier. We have engineered a high-capacity DNA vector basing rolling circle amplification for the delivery of copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) and doxorubicin (DOX), coupled with multivalent aptamers (MA) that precisely target tumors, culminating in a multifunctional nanoplatform (RMALCu@DOX), which combines the chemotherapy (CT)/photothermal therapy (PTT)/chemodynamic therapy (CDT). The vector (RMAL) boasts exceptional biocompatibility and incorporates multiple copy units, enabling the precise loading of numerous CuS NPs, forming RMALCu which possesses a robust photothermal effect and superior Fenton-like catalytic activity, heralding a project of minimally invasive dual-mode (PTT/CDT) therapy.

Photocatalytic water disinfection technology is highly promising in off-grid areas due to abundant year-round solar irradiance. However, the practical use of powdered photocatalysts is impeded by limited recovery and inefficient inactivation of stress-resistant bacteria in oligotrophic surface water. Here we prepare a floatable monolithic photocatalyst with ZIF-8-NH loaded Ag single atoms and nanoparticles (Ag/ZIF).

Concentrated solar-driven CO2 reduction is a breakthrough approach to combat climate crisis. Harnessing the in-situ coupling of high photon flux density and high thermal energy flow initiates multiple energy conversion pathways, such as photothermal, photoelectric, and thermoelectric processes, thereby enhancing the efficient activation of CO2. This review systematically presents the fundamental principles of concentrated solar systems, the design and classification of solar-concentrating devices, and industrial application case studies.

These materials have been developed for several applications, including catalysis, separation science, metal ion adsorption and nanomedicine. Carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) obtained through HTC are particularly interesting for the latter application since they exhibit photothermal properties when irradiated with near-infrared (NIR) light, act as an antioxidant by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), and present good colloidal stability and biocompatibility.

Synergistic photodynamic/photothermal therapy (PDT/PTT) can be used to target cancer cells by locally generating singlet oxygen species or increasing temperature under laser irradiation. This approach offers higher tumor ablation efficiency, lower therapeutic dose requirements, and reduced side effects compared to single treatment approaches. However, the therapeutic efficiency of PDT/PTT is still limited by the low oxygen levels within the solid tumors caused by abnormal vasculature and altered cancer cell metabolism.
