CO₂-laser-induced carbonization of calcium chloride-treated chitin nanopaper for applications in solar thermal heating.

ABSTRACT: Remarkable progress has been made in the development of carbonized chitin nanofiber materials for various functional applications, including solar thermal heating, owing to their N- and O-doped carbon structures and sustainable nature. Carbonization is a fascinating process for the functionalization of chitin nanofiber materials. However, conventional carbonization techniques require harmful reagents, high-temperature treatment, and time-consuming processes. Although CO₂ laser irradiation has progressed as a facile and second-scale high-speed carbonization process, CO₂-laser-carbonized chitin nanofiber materials and their applications have not yet been explored. Herein, we demonstrate the CO₂-laser-induced carbonization of chitin nanofiber paper (denoted as
