photothermal antibacterial qualities in addition to enabling passive personal heating. For example, after 20
min of simulated sunlight exposure, MXene-loaded cotton garments showed over 95% suppression of
Escherichia coli [167] (Figure 14B shows the temperature rise trend under near-infrared light). Zuo et al.
developed a multi-mode thermal management fiber system that can store and release thermal energy by
further integrating MXene conductive/photothermal networks with phase-change materials (such as
polyethylene glycol, PEG) to improve thermal management intelligence . This technology allows for better
[172]
prolonged thermal comfort management by buffering microclimate temperature changes in the human body
through material phase transitions during external temperature variations.
