Photothermal Superhydrophobic Textiles: An Emerging Paradigm from Passive Water Repellency to Active Thermal Management.
Review in Nano-micro letters, 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 superhydrophobic textiles represent an emerging paradigm integrating active light-driven functionality with passive liquid repellency. While previous reviews treated superhydrophobicity and photothermal effects in isolation, this work pioneers a systematic analysis of their synergistic interplay-a critical, underexplored mechanism where superhydrophobicity preserves photothermal efficiency by minimizing water-induced heat loss, while photothermal activity prevents surface fouling that compromises non-wetting performance. Through detailed case studies of advanced material systems, this review highlights how this synergy supports significant advancements in adaptive wearable technology, energy-efficient infrastructure, and eco-friendly water treatment. This review presents an original "lab-to-life" roadmap that structurally links material design to durability assessment, environmental impact evaluation, and scalable manufacturing strategies-a holistic framework absent in existing literature. The review emphasizes urgent sustainability priorities including green material substitutions, non-toxic solvent processing methodologies, and circular design principles aligned with global environmental regulations. By connecting fundamental mechanisms to real-world deployment scenarios while outlining transformative future directions such as AI-accelerated material discovery, stimulus-responsive systems, and intelligent manufacturing protocols, this work provides a timely and actionable reference for advancing next-generation textiles toward technological sophistication and practical viability in sustainable development.
