In this study, the possibility of using a natural polysaccharide, pectin, in a novel function as a photothermal material was investigated by fabricating a Pectin/Polyethylene glycol (PEG)/Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite via the infiltration of PEG/PMMA polymer mixture into freeze-casted pectin cryogel template. The Pectin/PEG/PMMA composite has high latent heat of 48 J/g, excellent UV blocking ability, and tailorable transmittance as well as capacity to energy storage via photothermal heating to the melting point of PEG under sunlight. The photothermal effect can be enhanced with the increase of pectin concentration and irradiation intensity. Furthermore, by using the Pectin/PEG/PMMA composite as a window of a model house could effectively reduce the temperature rise inside the house under irradiation and reduce the temperature drop after turning off the irradiation, as compared to a model house with conventional glass as the window material. Therefore, this work provides a new application of pectin as photothermal material and opens the opportunity to develop novel sustainable bio-based photothermal materials.
