A mechanically durable, excellent recyclable 3D hierarchical Ni3S2@Ni foam photothermal membrane
Solar-driven water evaporation is considered to be a viable and very efficient technology for fresh water production. Unfortunately, the photothermal membrane has a low absorptivity, low photothermal conversion and poor recyclability, which are difficult

Readily constructed squaraine J-aggregates with an 86.0 % photothermal conversion efficiency for photothermal therapy. [PDF]
The development of photothermal agents with high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) and long absorption wavelengths is crucial for safe and effective anti-cancer treatment. However, achieving these advantages often requires precise molecular design and complex synthetic procedures. In this study, we present a simple, precise, and effective method
