Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a class of nanomaterials renowned for their exceptional thermal conductivity and ability to absorb a broad spectrum of light, including near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. When CNTs are exposed to NIR light, they efficiently convert the absorbed energy into heat through a process called photothermal conversion. This property makes them ideal for applications…
