Published: June 3, 2024

Abstract The rising demand for freshwater and the challenge of energy scarcity have fueled interest in solar interfacial water evaporation technology, which harnesses to produce clean water. Attaining high performance with this technology necessitates development highly efficient photothermal materials, heat management optimization, resolution salt deposition issues ensure equipment longevity. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess large specific surface areas porosity, making them ideal various treatment applications. In recent years, MOFs been extensively employed solar-driven desalination. Here, we review developments functionalization thin films, composites MOFs-based derivatives strategies achieving seawater desalination while preventing deposition. Furthermore, systems that integrate pollutant degradation power generation are discussed, further expand application scenarios technologies.
