Abstract
The development of multi-component photothermal agents has attracted increasing attention due to their potential applications in energy conversion, medical treatments, etc. Herein, a dumbbell shaped PbS–Te heterostructure was prepared via a one-pot microwave-assisted decomposition of lead dimethyl dithiocarbamate and tellurium diethyl dithiocarbamate. The as-obtained PbS–Te hybrids exhibit excellent photothermal stability and strong optical absorption over a broad wavelength range spanning from ultraviolet to near-infrared, where the photothermal conversion efficiency could reach as high as 12.1%. Such promising photothermal performance demonstrates the advantages of one-pot synthesis that results in more intimate contacts among individual components.
