Fig. 2

a Schematic illustration of the fabrication process of NIGMs by a facile photothermal-triggered in situ gelation method. b Infrared images of the CNT-interwoven photothermal confined reactor as a function of sunlight irradiation time. c Dynamic curve of temperature and monomer conversion ratio over reaction time for the fabrication of NIGMs via photothermal-triggered in situ gelation method. d, e AFM images and corresponding SEM images of surface morphologies of the densely-packed CNT-interwoven skeleton and the associated NIGMs. f Cross-sectional TEM and SEM images of the NIGMs. The CNT-interwoven skeleton of NIGMs is completely encapsulated by the polymeric gel matrix with an interpenetrated architecture.
