However, hydrothermal treatment will produce aqueous by-products rich in organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc. The treatment and resource utilization of aqueous by-products are related to the promotion and application of hydrothermal technology. At present, there are relatively few studies on the utilization of aqueous by-products. Photothermal catalytic conversion of aqueous by-products through photocatalytic technology is an important way to achieve high-value utilization of such wastes, which has attracted widespread attention from scholars at home and abroad.
