Interfacial thermal resistance between nanoconfined water and silicon: Impact of temperature and silicon phase

Phase Engineered CuxS–Ag2S with Photothermoelectric Activity for Enhanced Multienzyme Activity and Dynamic Therapy

“…[ 10b ] Currently reported thermoelectric materials cannot construct temperature gradients efficiently in vivo, owing to their slow surface heating or heat dissipation [ 10a,c ] The unique dangling bonds of amorphous semiconductors endow them with lower Kapitza resistance than crystalline particles [ 11 ] which facilitates the heat‐exchange between the material and its surrounding medium during the cooling process. [ 12 ] Moreover, the band‐tail surface state allows its preferentially heating. Therefore, temperature gradients can be efficiently constructed during both the heating and cooling phases.…”

Liquid-Modulated Photothermal Phenomena in Porous Silicon Nanostructures Studied by μ-Raman Spectroscopy

“…The increase of the thermal conductivity (up to two times) of the composite system “porous silicon—viscous liquid”, in comparison with pristine porous silicon, has been experimentally confirmed by means of the photoacoustic technique [ 24 ]. Several theoretical analysis of thermal transport in porous Si and porous silicon-water nanocomposite with quantitative estimation of thermal conductivity values were performed using a molecular dynamics approach [ 25 , 26 , 27 ].…”

A data driven approach to model thermal boundary resistance from molecular dynamics simulations

“…Heat transfer across nanoscale solid–liquid interfaces is a critical design consideration in electronic, 1–6 optoelectronic, 7 biomedical 8–10 and renewable energy 11–16 systems. Despite significant advances in the estimation of TBR over the past decade, accurate modeling of the mechanism of heat transport at the nanoscale solid–liquid interface is still elusive to the scientific community.…”
