Abstract

Photothermal catalysis harnesses light-matter interactions that merge photochemical and thermochemical processes, driving surface reactions through localized heating effects. This approach holds the potential to unlock novel chemical transformations, but distinguishing between excited-state and ground-state reactions remains a significant challenge, as they occur simultaneously and can have similar effects. To accurately assess the contributions of these photochemical and thermochemical processes, spatially resolved, multiscale temperature measurements under operando conditions are essential. This review critically examines various temperature measurement techniques in photothermal catalysis, underscoring their pivotal role in advancing both scientific understanding and the development of optically and chemically engineered photocatalysts, along with photoreactors. Such advancements are key to facilitating the efficient and cost-effective production of sustainable chemicals and fuels from earth-abundant feedstocks, contributing to the transition toward a more sustainable future.

光热催化中的微/纳米尺度测温

光热催化利用光-物质相互作用，融合光化学和热化学过程，通过局部热效应驱动表面反应。这种方法有可能解开新的化学转化，但区分激发态和基态反应仍然是一个重大挑战，因为它们同时发生，并且可能具有相似的效果。为了准确评估这些光化学和热化学过程的贡献，在操作条件下进行空间分辨的多尺度温度测量是必不可少的。本文综述了光热催化中的各种温度测量技术，强调了它们在促进科学理解和光反应器和光催化剂的发展中所起的关键作用。这些进步是促进从地球上丰富的原料中高效、经济地生产可持续化学品和燃料的关键，有助于向更可持续的未来过渡。
