Solving the global challenge of freshwater scarcity is of great significance for over one billion people in the world. Solar water evaporation based on plasmonic nanostructures is one of the most promising technologies due to its high efficiency. However, the efficiency of this plasmonic nanostructure-based…
Liquid evaporation, or water vapor generation, is a spontaneous natural process and is always accompanied by evaporation cooling. However, evaporation cooling that can directly produce electricity based on the Seebeck effect and even supply power for electronic devices has not yet been reported. Here,…

Semiconducting materials show high potential for solar energy harvesting due to their suitable bandgaps, which allow the efficient utilization of light energy larger than their bandgaps. However, the photon energy smaller than their bandgap is almost unused, which significantly limits their efficient…
2D metal phosphorous trichalcogenides (MPCh₃) have attracted considerable attention in sustainable energy storage and conversion due to their distinct physical and chemical characteristics, such as adjustable energy bandgap, significant specific surface area, and abundant active sites. However, research…
In der kommenden Ära des "Carbon Peak und der Kohlenstoffneutralität" ist es besonders wichtig, neue Energietechnologien zu entwickeln, die kostengünstig, umweltfreundlich und im industriellem Maßstab herstellbar sind, um die herkömmlichen fossilen Brennstoffe zu ersetzen, die weithin als Verursacher…
