Thermodynamics and Weak Cosmic Censorship Conjecture in Nonlinear Electrodynamics Black Holes via Charged Particle Absorption

We first obtain the $D$-dimensional asymptotically AdS charged black hole solution in general nonlinear electrodynamics (NLED). We then use the Hamilton-Jacobi method to describe the motion in curved spacetime of a scalar particle and a fermion, which, as we show, satisfy the same Hamilton-Jacobi equation. With absorbing a charged particle, the variation of the generic charged NLED black hole is calculated in the normal and extended phase spaces. In the normal phase space, where the cosmological constant and dimensionful parameters in NLED are fixed, the first and second laws of thermodynamics are satisfied. In the extended phase space, where the cosmological constant and dimensionful parameters in NLED are treated as thermodynamic variables, the first law of thermodynamics is also satisfied. However, the black hole entropy can either increase or decrease depending on the changes in the dimensionful parameters. Furthermore, we find that the weak cosmic censorship conjecture is valid for the extremal and near-extremal black holes in the both phase spaces.
