Previous work has shown that reducing the viscosity of crude oil by heating is an effective way to solve this problem. Compared with Joule heating, collecting and converting solar energy into heat is a low-cost, powerful and environmentally friendly way [120]. Previously, many workers have successfully captured and converted it into heat easily through a series of light and heat components. For example, graphene oxide (GO) [121], carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [122] and polydopamine (PDA) [123] have all been effectively used to prepare photothermal materials. However, the cost of materials is considered a crucial consideration when solving the problem of large-scale offshore oil spills. Although GO and CNTs have an excellent ability to capture sunlight and are less expensive than precious metal nanomaterials, when we face a large-area marine oil spill, we still hope to find a cheaper modification method.
