Abstract
All forms of energy follow the law of conservation of energy, by which they can be neither created nor destroyed. Light-to-heat conversion as a traditional yet constantly evolving means of converting light into thermal energy has been of enduring appeal to researchers and the public. With the continuous development of advanced nanotechnologies, a variety of photothermal nanomaterials have been endowed with excellent light harvesting and photothermal conversion capabilities for exploring fascinating and prospective applications. Herein we review the latest progresses on photothermal nanomaterials, with a focus on their underlying mechanisms as powerful light-to-heat converters. We present an extensive catalogue of nanostructured photothermal materials, including metallic/semiconductor structures, carbon materials, organic polymers, and two-dimensional materials. The proper material selection and rational structural design for improving the photothermal performance are then discussed. We also provide a representative overview of the latest techniques for probing photothermally generated heat at the nanoscale. We finally review the recent significant developments of photothermal applications and give a brief outlook on the current challenges and future directions of photothermal nanomaterials.

Abstract
Organic photothermal cocrystals, integrating the advantages of intrinsic organic cocrystals and the fascinating photothermal conversion ability, hold attracted considerable interest in both basic science and practical applications, involving photoacoustic imaging, seawater desalination, and photothermal therapy, and so on. However, these organic photothermal cocrystals currently suffer individual cases discovered step by step, as well as the deep and systemic investigation in the corresponding photothermal conversion mechanisms is rarely carried out, suggesting a huge challenge for their further developments. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to investigate and explore the rational design and synthesis of high-performance organic photothermal cocrystals for future applications. This review first and systematically summarizes the organic photothermal cocrystal in terms of molecular classification, the photothermal conversion mechanism, and their corresponding applications. The timely interpretation of the cocrystal photothermal effect will provide broad prospects for the purposeful fabrication of excellent organic photothermal cocrystals toward great efficiency, low cost, and multifunctionality.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 433:128797.

Abstract
Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) with integrated photoactive components have been shown to be a promising strategy for enhancing the performance for bioenergy generation and pollutant removal. This study revealed an efficient photo-BES with an enhanced pollutant degradation rate by utilizing self-produced biomolecules as photosensitizers in situ. Results showed that the BES could increase the coulombic efficiency from 60.8% to 73.0% and the degradation rate of bisphenol A (BPA) from 0.030 to 0.189 h-1 when the suspension in the reactor was illuminated with simulated sunlight in the absence of any external photosensitizers. We identified that the regular BES released many organic substances into the reactor during operation. These substances, including dissolved biomolecules and solid cell residues, were photoactive for producing hydroxyl radicals during light illumination. Quenching experiments verified that the •OH generated from the self-produced biophotosensitizers contributed to the enhanced degradation of BPA. Additionally, the phototransformation of biophotosensitizers was also observed in photo-BES. The quantity of tyrosine protein-like components decreased, but that of the humic components remained relatively stable. Our findings imply that BESs with integrated self-produced biophotosensitizers may be promising for constructing advanced electrochemical and biological systems for synchronous bioelectricity production and degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater treatments.

Abstract
The properties and applications of MXenes (a family of layered transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides) have aroused enormous research interests for a decade since the successful synthesis of few-layer transition metal carbides in 2011. Though MXenes, as the building blocks, have already been applied in various fields (such as wearable electronics) owing to the distinctive optical, mechanical and electrical properties, their thermal stability and intrinsic thermal properties were less thoroughly investigated compared to other characteristics in early reports. The pioneering theoretical prediction of the thermoelectric nature of MXenes was performed in 2013 while the first experiment-based report concerning the degradation behavior of the 2D structure at elevated temperatures in a controlled atmosphere was published in 2015, followed by numerous discoveries regarding the thermal properties of MXenes. Herein, after a brief description of the synthesis, this Review summarized the latest insights into the thermal stability and thermophysical properties of MXenes, and further associated these unique properties with relevant applications by multiple examples. Finally, current hurdles and challenges in this field were provided along with some advices on potential research directions in the future.

Abstract
Hematite has been proven to be an excellent material for enhancing extracellular electron transfer (EET) in microbial bioelectrochemical systems (BESs). However, the effect of hematite with different exposed facets on microbial EET remains unclear. Here, we synthesized two types of hematite nanoparticles with high {100} and {001} facet exposure (Hem_{100} and Hem_{001}), respectively, which were coated on ITO electrode to stimulate the microbial EET in the BESs. The results showed that the maximum biocurrent density of commercial hematite nanoparticles (Hem_NPs), Hem_{100} and Hem_{001} electrodes reached 73.33 ± 5.68, 129.33 ± 9.12 and 287.00 ± 19.89 μA cm-2 from three replicates of each treatment, respectively. The current generation achieved from the Hem_{001} electrode was nearly 199-times higher than that of the blank ITO electrode (1.44 ± 0.10 μA cm-2). The electrochemical measurements showed that the lowest charge transfer resistance (Rct) was observed for the Hem_{001}, and the promoted biofilm formation and EPS secretion on the Hem_{001} electrode were also revealed, which could contribute the high performance of this electrode. Moreover, metagenomic analysis revealed that Hem_{001} might facilitate the microbial EET by stimulating the expression of genes related to cytochrome c and conductive nanowires. This study not only provides a new strategy to enhance microbial electrogenesis but also expands the knowledge of the effect of facet on microbial EET, helping to develop more efficient electrode materials in the future.

Abstract
A composite of cuttlefish ink-based carbon quantum dots@Ag/MXene (CQD@Ag/MXene) was firstly synthesized by solvothermal method as a catalyst for reduction of p-nitrophenol (PNP) to p-aminophenol (PAP). CQD@Ag/MXene was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), field emission transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman. The results show that loading on 2D material MXene can prevent the aggregation of CQD@Ag and expose more active sites, which contributes to a superior catalytic activity with a pseudo-first-order rate constant k (2.28 × 10-2 s-1) and mass-normalized rate constant k m (5700 s-1 g-1), nearly 2 times higher than CQD@Ag without MXene (k = 1.09 × 10-2 s-1 and k m = 2725 s-1 g-1). Besides, CQD@Ag/MXene showed excellent reusability which even retained about 65% activity in successive 10 cycles. The high adsorption rate to PNP and the promotion of forming H radicals may be the reason for the outstanding catalytic activity of CQD@Ag/MXene. CQD@Ag/MXene can be a potential candidate in the removal of environmental pollutants due to its facile synthesis and high catalytic efficiency.

Abstract
As a new member of the 2D material family, MXene integrates high metallic conductivity and hydrophilic property simultaneously. It shows tremendous potential in fields of energy storage, sensing, electromagnetic shielding, and so forth. Due to the abundant surface functional groups, the physical and chemical properties of MXene can be tuned by the formation of MXene-polymer composites. The introduction of polymers can expand the interlayer spacing, reduce the distance of ion/electron transport, improve the surface hydrophilicity, and thus guide the assembly of MXene-polymer structures. Herein, the preparation strategies of MXene-polymer composites including physical mixing, surface modification, such as anchoring through TiN and Ti-O-C bonds, bonding through esterification, grafting functional groups through TiOSi/TiOP bonds, photograft reaction, as well as in situ polymerization are highlighted. In addition, the possible mechanisms for each strategy are explained. Furthermore, the applications of MXene-polymer composites obtained by different preparation strategies are summarized. Finally, perspectives and challenges are presented for the designs of MXene-polymer composites.

Abstract
The conversion of CO2 into fuels and feedstock chemicals via photothermal catalysis holds promise for efficient solar energy utilization to tackle the global energy shortage and climate change. Despite recent advances, it is of emerging interest to explore promising materials with excellent photothermal properties to boost the performance of photothermal CO2 catalysis. Here, we report the discovery of MXene materials as superior photothermal supports for metal nanoparticles. As a proof-of-concept study, we demonstrate that Nb2C and Ti3C2, two typical MXene materials, can enhance the photothermal effect and thus boost the photothermal catalytic activity of Ni nanoparticles. A record CO2 conversion rate of 8.50 mol·gNi-1·h-1 is achieved for Nb2C-nanosheet-supported Ni nanoparticles under intense illumination. Our study bridges the gap between photothermal MXene materials and photothermal CO2 catalysis toward more efficient solar-to-chemical energy conversions and stimulates the interest in MXene-supported metal nanoparticles for other heterogeneous catalytic reactions, particularly driven by sunlight.

Abstract
Triphenyl phosphate (TPHP) is one of the major organophosphate esters (OPEs) with increasing consumption. Considering its largely distribution and high toxicity in aquatic environment, it is important to explore an efficient treatment for TPHP. This study aimed to investigate the accelerated degradation of TPHP in a three-electrode single chamber bioelectrochemical system (BES). Significant increase of degradation efficiency of TPHP in the BES was observed compared with open circuit and abiotic controls. The one-order degradation rates of TPHP (1.5 mg L-1) were increased with elevating sodium acetate concentrations and showed the highest value (0.054 ± 0.010 h-1) in 1.0 g L-1 of sodium acetate. This result indicated bacterial metabolism of TPHP was enhanced by the application of micro-electrical field and addition acetate as co-substrates. TPHP could be degraded into diphenyl phosphate (DPHP), hydroxyl triphenyl phosphate (OH-TPHP) and three byproducts. DPHP was the most accumulated degradation product in BES, which accounted more than 35.5% of the initial TPHP. The composition of bacterial community in BES electrode was affected by the acclimation by TPHP, with the most dominant bacteria of Azospirillum, Petrimonas, Pseudomonas and Geobacter at the genera level. Moreover, it was found that the acute toxic effect of TPHP to Vibrio fischeri was largely removed after the treatment, which revealed that BES is a promising technology to remove TPHP threaten in aquatic environment.
