Developing adaptable PTM fabrics offers a promising strategy for efficient passive thermal management of vehicles in severe cold conditions. In this study, we designed a hybrid photothermal system of Tellurium nanoparticles (Te NPs) incorporated into bioderived carbon nanosheets. The composite exhibits excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (PTCE), calculated to be ∼63% within 2 min under NIR irradiation. Furthermore, the hybrid system-coated cotton fabric exhibited enhanced heating performance, reaching ∼42 °C under visible light in 3 min and ∼74 °C under NIR irradiation in 2 min in a cold environment. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation reveals the role of Te nanostructures in the hybrid system for improved light-to-heat conversion. Therefore, the current hybrid PTM system demonstrates potential in regulating temperature for outdoor applications in colder regions. 2026-09-29T00:00:00Z Dataset Media 10.1021/acs.langmuir.6c03642.s003 https://figshare.com/articles/media/Tellurium-Based_Hybrid_Structure_for_Thermal_Management_Applications/34023334 CC BY-NC 4.0
