Research Progress of the Application of Wood-based Photothermal Conversion Functional Materials
With the development of industry and the consumption of fossil fuels,climate change,energy shortage,environmental pollution and other problems have become increasingly serious.It has become a global development trend to achieve sustainable development by developing green,environmentally friendly and renewable new materials.Photothermal conversion technology,can convert solar energy into heat energy and be used in many fields,has become one of the important methods to solve these crises.Wood is one of the most abundant renewable resources on the earth,and has been widely concerned by researchers because of its abundant reserves,renewable,degradable,simple and easy to ob-tain.The effective combination of wood and photothermal conversion can improve the utilization efficiency of solar energy and forest resources un-der the carbon neutralization strategy.This review introduces the mechanism of wood-based photothermal conversion materials,describes the current progress of photothermal conversion technology and wood construction of photothermal conversion materials,and gives a summary on the application of wood-based photothermal conversion materials in water treatment,electricity generation,hydrogen generation,phase change ener-gy storage based on state-of-the-art researches,in order to provide reference and inspiration for related research and promote sustainable deve-lopment.
