Research on Thermal Energy Storage and Atmospheric Water Harvesting Based on Photothermal Hydrogels
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: With the growing global energy demand and increasing awareness of environmental protection, the development of sustainable and efficient energy storage and water resource acquisition technologies has become an important area of scientific research. Solar energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, has demonstrated huge potential in energy storage and atmospheric water harvesting through its photothermal utilization technology. Photothermal hydrogels, as a novel material, have attracted considerable attention in solar thermal energy storage and atmospheric water harvesting due to their unique light absorption, heat conduction, and moisture management capabilities. This review summarizes the research findings of Song Minyu in his master's thesis, "Applications of Photothermal Hydrogels in Thermal Energy Storage and Atmospheric Water Harvesting," and explores the applications and performance of photothermal hydrogels in these two fields.
