Photothermal Catalysts, Light and Heat Management: From Materials Design to Performance Evaluation
University of Alicante · King Abdullah University of Science and Technology
Abstract
Abstract Photothermal catalysis, a frontier in heterogeneous catalysis, combines light‐driven and thermally enhanced chemical reactions to optimize energy use and reaction efficiencies at catalytic active sites. By leveraging photothermal conversion, this approach links renewable energy sources with industrial chemical processes, offering significant potential for sustainable applications. This review categorizes photothermal catalysis into three types: light‐driven thermocatalysis, thermally enhanced photocatalysis, and photo‐thermo coupling catalysis. Each category is analyzed, emphasizing mechanisms, performance factors, and the role of advanced materials such as plasmonic nanoparticles, semiconductors, and…
