Abstract
Ferrocene (Fc) and Fc derivatives have gained popularity in recent years due to their unique structure and characteristics. Among Fc's diverse performances, photothermal conversion, as a primary source of energy conversion, has sparked substantial study attention. This Review summaries Fc and Fc derivatives with photothermal characteristics, as well as their applications developed recently. First, methods for the synthesis of Fc-based materials are systematically discussed. Then, the photothermal conversion mechanism based on nonradiative relaxation is summarized. Furthermore, the most recent advances in Fc-based materials in photothermal applications are described, including photothermal degradation, photothermal antibacterial, photothermal therapies, photothermal catalysis, solar-driven water production, and photothermal CO2 separation. Finally, a summary and insights on the photothermal application of Fc-based materials are provided. This paper seeks to provide researchers with a better knowledge of photothermal behavior while also highlighting the potential of Fc and its derivatives in photothermal fields.
