Abstract Interfacial solar evaporation, which captures energy and localizes the absorbed heat for water is considered a promising technology seawater desalination conversion. However, it currently limited by its low photothermal conversion efficiency, salt accumulation, poor reliability. Herein, inspired human intestinal villi structure, we design fabricate novel villi‐like nitrogen‐doped carbon nanotubes steam generator (N‐CNTs SSG) consisting of three‐dimensional (3D) hierarchical nanotube matrices ultrahigh evaporation efficiency. The 3D with radial direction clusters achieve surface area, hydrophilicity, significantly intensifies whole interfacial process. new efficiency reaches as high 96.8%. Furthermore, our ab initio molecular dynamics simulation reveals that N‐doped exhibit greater number electronic states in close proximity to Fermi level when compared pristine nanotubes. outstanding absorptivity full spectrum altitude angles offer great potential enable under all‐day all‐season circumstances.

Nanofibrous Hydrogel with Highly Salt‐Resistant Radial/Vertical‐Combined Structure for Efficient Solar Interfacial Evaporation

Small, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 13, 2025

Abstract Hydrogel‐based solar interfacial evaporators, featuring various channels such as random, unidirectional, and radial array, are considered effective for seawater desalination owing to their porous structure, lower evaporation enthalpy, controllable water transport capacity. However, each individual array structure has its own strengths limitations, influencing transportation, thermal management, salt rejection. By combining the benefits of configuration into a single evaporator, performance can be maximized. Herein, study develops unique nanofibrous hydrogel‐based evaporator combined radical/vertical structure. This integrated with external internal vertical endows this excellent capability reduced heat loss, resulting in superior high salty resistance. The addition nanofibers hydrogels not only enhances hydrogel's stability but also facilitates transport. Under 1 sun illumination, achieve an impressive rate 4.62 kg m −2 h −1 energy efficiency 149.57%. After 12 20 wt.% NaCl solution, it still maintains average 3.98 minimal accumulation, thereby exhibiting exceptional resistance durability.

Published: June 19, 2024

Abstract Interfacial solar evaporation is a sustainable and effective method that uses energy to produce freshwater. As this technology continues develop, the ability of interfacial evaporators tolerate high salt concentrations achieve stable has gradually improved. Some can even complete separation water solutes, resulting in zero liquid discharge. Here, we discuss strategies for treating high-salinity wastewater achieving We particularly focus on representative management strategies, including timely removal crystals prevention deposition photothermal materials. Additionally, present three design ideas evaporators, fundamental principles behind these strategies. Current challenges future research opportunities are proposed.
