1. A system, comprising:
a steam generation system comprising a complex, wherein the steam generation system is configured to:
receive water;concentrate electromagnetic (EM) radiation received from an EM radiation source,apply the EM radiation to the complex, wherein the complex absorbs the EM radiation to generate heat, andtransform, using the heat generated by the complex, the water to steam; and a chamber configured to receive the steam and an object, wherein the object is one selected from a group consisting of medical waste, medical equipment, fabric, and fecal matter, wherein the complex comprises:
a plurality of particles, wherein each particle of the plurality of particles is one selected from a group consisting of copper nanoparticles, copper oxide nanoparticles, nanoshells, nanorods, carbon moieties, encapsulated nanoshells, encapsulated nanoparticles, and branched nanostructures, andan encapsulating dielectric layer configured to preserve a plasmon resonance of the complex, wherein a first particle of the plurality of particles and a second particle of the plurality of particles are aggregated to form an aggregate. |
