Pristine organic phase change materials (PCMs) are difficult to complete photothermal conversion and storage. To upgrade their photothermal conversion and storage capacity, we developed Fe-MOF (metal-organic framework) derived FeO/C-decorated graphene (GP) based composite PCMs toward solar energy harvesting. Graphene is an excellent phonon conductor, and FeO/C-GP as a photon capturer exhibits strong full-spectrum absorption. Additionally, Fe-MOF derived FeO nanoparticles are anchored on graphene nanosheets to reduce interfacial thermal resistance, shorten thermal diffusion path, and accelerate phonon transport. After the encapsulation of octadecanol (ODA) in FeO/C-GP, ODA@FeO/C-GP composite PCMs yield a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 88.18 % under 0.12 W/cm benefiting from the synergistic effect of 3D interconnected graphene framework and FeO nanoparticles with localized surface plasmon resonance effect. Moreover, ODA@FeO/C-GP composite PCMs exhibit excellent latent heat storage stability, photothermal conversion stability and durable reliability after undergoing multiple cycle evaluation, boosting high-efficiency utilization of solar energy.

The problem of antibiotic abuse and drug resistance is becoming increasingly serious. In recent years, polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles have been recognized as a potential antimicrobial material for photothermal therapy (PTT) due to their excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and unique antimicrobial ability. PDA is capable of rapidly converting light energy into heat energy under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation to kill bacteria efficiently.

Due to the high viscosity and low fluidity of viscous crude oil, how to effectively recover spilled crude oil is still a major global challenge. Although solar thermal absorbers have made significant progress in accelerating oil recovery, its practical application is largely restricted by the variability of solar radiation intensity, which is influenced by external environmental factors. To address this issue, this study created a new composite fiber that not only possesses solar energy conversion and storage capabilities but also facilitates crude oil removal.

In this study, we developed an innovative CuSe/PDA/AIPH nanoparticle platform that combines photothermal therapy and chemotherapy for effective tumor treatment. The CuSe nanoparticles, known for their strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption, were encapsulated within a polydopamine (PDA) and 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] dihydrochloride (AIPH) matrix. Upon NIR irradiation, the platform triggers localized heating and subsequent thermal decomposition of AIPH, releasing ROS to induce significant oxidative damage in tumor cells.
