Overview

In this edited volume for researchers and students, experts in thermal plasmonics and metamaterials technologies introduce cutting-edge energy and resource conservation techniques and environmentally friendly solutions in areas including energy generation and harvesting and radiative cooling. Through this book, readers will gain an in-depth understanding of the metamaterials and thermal plasmonics technologies used for such devices and the real-world applications of these technologies. This book is divided into three broad sections to address different aspects of these devices. The first section presents research on materials that can control thermal radiation and optical absorption, phase transition materials, and optical design using AI; the second covers research on thermophovoltaic elements, energy harvesting, and radiative cooling; and the third introduces research on photothermal materials’ applications, such as solar steam generation, desalination, recyclable inks, and radiative textiles. Each chapter is authored by an expert whose research is focused on a specific related technology or application. Readers can apply the information in this book to address many common problems related to environment and energy conservation. This book is invaluable for researchers and graduate students working in the fields of nanophotonics, energy, and environmentally friendly solutions, whether they are working on advancing the underlying technologies or expanding the range of usable applications to solve common global problems related to energy use, cooling, and resource consumption.
