Highly efficient solar photothermal conversion of graphene-coated conjugated microporous polymers hollow spheres

Multishell Copper Oxide Hollow Spheres Incorporated with Fatty Amines for High Light-To-Thermal Conversion

“…The pure PCMs (TDA, HDA, and ODA), CuOHS@PCMs, and CuOHS exhibit different thermal stability under 0–600 °C air environment, respectively. As shown in the TG curve in Figure a,b, the temperature at 100% weight loss of the three aliphatic amines gradually increases as the chain length of the aliphatic amine increases . For CuOHS, it showed excellent thermal stability compared to the other samples, maintaining a mass of 82.57% at 600 °C and a weight loss of 100% for the pure PCM, while CuOHS@PCMs maintained a mass of 46.31, 39.71, and 39.33% at 600 °C, respectively.…”

A promising technology: solar-driven interfacial evaporation with facilitation strategies, multifunctional applications and perspectives

“…Besides, it also has a good evaporation performance in high-concentration brine and organically contaminated sewage. In terms of two-dimensional (2D) carbon-based materials, such as graphene, 49,50 GO, [51][52][53] and rGO, 54 they have unique characteristics.…”

“…Besides, it also has a good evaporation performance in high-concentration brine and organically contaminated sewage. In terms of two-dimensional (2D) carbon-based materials, such as graphene, 49,50 GO, 51–53 and rGO, 54 they have unique characteristics. For example, GO, which is the product of chemical oxidation and exfoliation of pristine graphite powder, has a high concentration of hydroxyl, epoxide, and carboxyl functional groups.…”

Enhanced sensible heat storage capacity of nanofluids by improving the photothermal conversion performance with direct radiative absorption of solar energy

“…Increasing urbanization and industrialization with the rise in the world's population and general living standards have significantly elevated the need for energy [1]. However, dependency upon fossil fuels, as energy sources, highly intensifies the emission of greenhouse gases resulting in serious concerns about global warming [2,3]. This has highlighted renewable energy generation as an essential perquisite for sustainability [4].…”

“…This has highlighted renewable energy generation as an essential perquisite for sustainability [4]. The ubiquitous nature of solar energy along with its relative ease of use makes it a very attractive source of renewable energy [3,5].…”
