研究目的
To design and model efficient photoheaters using a plasmonic aerogel composite that combines strong photo-absorption with superior heat insulation characteristics.
研究成果
The hybrid plasmonic-aerogel material demonstrated significant temperature increases under low radiation intensity, showcasing its potential as an efficient photoheater. The system's stability and the nonlinearity of its response to laser intensity were explained by a combination of radiative and convective heat dissipation, alongside temperature-dependent material properties. This material is promising for applications in thermal power generation, solar air heating systems, and water purification.

The study focuses on a specific wavelength of laser light (650 nm) and a particular type of plasmonic nanoparticle (AuNRs with an aspect ratio of 2.8). The thermal performance under different environmental conditions or with other types of nanoparticles was not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study combines plasmonic nanoheaters (gold nanorods, AuNR) with alumina aerogel to create a hybrid material. The AuNRs are designed to absorb light at a specific wavelength (650 nm) and convert it into heat, while the aerogel provides structural support and reduces heat diffusion.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
AuNRs with an aspect ratio of 2.8 were embedded in alumina aerogel pellets. The optical properties of the composite were adjusted by varying the concentration of AuNRs.
