Thermo-photo catalysis, which is the catalysis with the participation of both thermal and
photo energies, not only reduces the large energy consumption of thermal catalysis but also …

Photothermal catalysis is an emerging sub-discipline of heterogeneous catalysis. It is distinct
from both thermochemical catalysis driven by heat and photochemical catalysis powered by …

Quantum batteries are devices made from quantum states, which store and release energy
in a fast and efficient manner, thus offering numerous possibilities in future technological …

The in vivo temperature monitoring of a microenvironment is significant in biology and
nanomedicine research. Luminescent nanothermometry provides a noninvasive method of …

Using heat or radiation as a single driving force for implementing carbon dioxide (CO 2)
conversion is usually limited by sluggish kinetics. Whereas the thermally-assisted …

The urgency of reducing pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining fuel
supply for the development of society remains one of the greatest challenges. Solar energy …

There is growing recognition that cooperative effects exist under dual-mode (photo-thermal)
heterogeneous catalytic excitation that offer genuine prospects in the transition to a …

Probing material properties at surfaces down to the single-particle scale of atoms and
molecules has been achieved, but high-resolution subsurface imaging remains a …

As the size of materials, particles, and devices shrinks to nanometer, atomic, or even
quantum scale, it is more challenging to characterize their thermal properties reliably …

Thermally responsive fluorescent nanoparticles can be constructed to allow robust, rapid,
and noninvasive temperature measurements. Furthermore, due to their tiny size, they can be …
