Abstract
Photothermal catalysis is an innovative approach that integrates photochemical and thermocatalytic processes to enable an efficient use of full-spectrum sunlight in catalyzing various chemical reactions for energy conversion and environmental governance. This approach has demonstrated competitive performance and energy efficiency compared to conventional techniques, making it suitable for large-scale applications. In this review, we will comprehensively examine the fundamentals and classification of photothermal catalysis and discuss detailed design principles of various types of photothermal catalysts, focusing on enhancing solar light absorption, improving internal electric field for more energetic hot…
