A Multifunctional Photothermal Catalyst Enabling Full-Day Sustainable Power and Indoor Air Quality Control.

ABSTRACT: Solar photothermal catalytic (PTC) purification holds great potential for indoor air pollution control, but efficiently collecting energy at the catalytic interface to maximize solar energy utilization and meet building requirements remains a global challenge. This study develops a novel infrared-light-driven photothermal catalyst, Mn₇Co₃Ce₁O_x, which efficiently utilizes solar and ambient energy, offering three functions: catalysis, heating, and cooling. Furthermore, this study proposes an innovative hybrid system that integrates PTC film, thermoelectric generator (TEG), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Through synergetic effects, the system combines the heating-catalysis-cooling effect of the PTC film with the moisture-induced adsorption/des
