Superlattice Architectures for Advancing Photothermal Catalysis: Mechanisms and Applications.
Review in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Photothermal catalysis has emerged as a powerful strategy to complement photocatalysis by harnessing full-spectrum sunlight for the production of solar fuels and chemical upgrading. Despite its promise, practical implementation remains limited by inefficient management of light-to-electron/heat conversion and unclear catalytic mechanisms. Superlattice materials, featuring periodic structural order across atomic to macroscopic scales, offer tuneable sized crystals, controllable electronic structures, and unique catalytic functionalities. These attributes enable enhanced light capture, energy conversion, and highly efficient catalytic kinetics for photothermal catalysis. This review provides an overview of superlattice architectures in photothermal catalysis, with a systematic review of the mechanism at both atomic and macroscopic scales. Emphasis is placed on the mechanism of superlattice engineering in regulating key photothermal processes, including photo-electron-phonon coupling and multi-energy-carrier dynamics. Advanced microscopic and operando characterization techniques are highlighted to elucidate reaction pathways and disentangle photothermal and photoelectrochemical contributions. Representative photothermal reactions are discussed to demonstrate how superlattice nanostructures enhance reactivity, selectivity, and product upgrading. Finally, challenges and future opportunities are outlined. This work aims to advance photothermal catalysis by introducing ultra-fast, directional photon-electron-phonon transport channels and tailoring highly ordered surfaces and interfaces to steer solar-driven catalysis toward more efficient, selective, and value-oriented chemical transformations.
