Abstract: Due to its strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption and high thermal conductivity, graphene is considered an excellent nanophotothermal filler that can effectively improve the photothermal conversion performance of composites. In particular, graphene–polymer nanocomposites, new types of photothermal conversion materials, have broad application prospects in photothermal therapy, photothermal driving, and micro-/nanomachinery. Recent research results have shown that when the filling concentration of graphene nanosheets (GNSs) in the matrix reaches the percolation threshold, interface effects such as interface tunneling and Maxwell–Wagner–Sillars (MWS) polarization, the key factors affecting the photothermal conversion performance of such composites, will occur. Furthermore, graphene exhibits unique optical conductivity due to its strong interaction with light. To reveal how interface effects influence the photothermal conversion performance of these nanocomposites, the optical conductivity of graphene at near-infrared frequencies was introduced to modify the effective medium theory. By combining this with a photothermal conversion model, the photothermal conversion behaviors of GNS–polymer composites are discussed, taking into account the interface effects and optical conductivity characteristics of GNSs.
