Photochemical Method for Laser Absorption

Abstract

During the laser application process, laser energy is usually converted into heat energy, causing high temperature, which affects the (high-speed) aircraft in routine flight. A completely novel photochemical method was investigated to potentially minimize the energy effect of the laser beam. Ag nanoparticles/C3N4 were synthesized by an ultra-low temperature reduced deposit method with Ag mean diameters of 5–25 nm for photofixation of N2. The absorption performance of laser can be improved by using appropriate charge density and small size Ag metal particles. The energy absorption rate was 7.1% over Ag/C3N4 (−40) at 5 mJ/cm2 of laser energy.
