A Multifunctional Synergistic Solar-Driven Interfacial Evaporator for Desalination and Photocatalytic Degradation

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 15, 2025

The scarcity of freshwater resources and the treatment dye wastewater have emerged as unavoidable challenges that need to be addressed. combination solar-driven interfacial evaporation, photocatalytic degradation, superhydrophobic surface provides an effective approach for seawater desalination organic dyes. In this study, we fabricated a multifunctional synergistic solar evaporator by depositing cupric oxide nanoparticles onto polypyrrole (PPy) coating subsequently modified it with hydrophobic agent successfully. achieved evaporation rate 1.48 kg m–2 h–1 under 1 kW irradiation. Importantly, exhibited degradation efficiency 95.9% toward methylene blue. It is important mention PPy promotes separation photogenerated electron–hole pairs, thus improving performance oxide. salt resistance evidenced absence significant deposits on its even after 300 min operation due property. also presents excellent acidic/alkaline/high-temperature/organic solvent environments. This offers sustainable solution water purification.

Recent innovations in 3D solar evaporators and their functionalities

Science Bulletin, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Sept. 1, 2024

Interfacial solar evaporation (ISE) has emerged as a promising technology to alleviate global water scarcity via energy-efficient purification of both wastewater and seawater. While ISE was originally identified developed during studies simple double-layered two-dimensional (2D) evaporators, observed limitations in rate functionality soon led the development three-dimensional (3D) which is now recognized one most pivotal milestones research field. 3D evaporators significantly enhance rates beyond theoretical limits 2D evaporators. Furthermore, could have multifaceted functionalities originating from various functional surfaces structures. This review summarizes recent advances focusing on rational design, fabrication energy nexus derivative functions for improving performance exploring novel applications. Future prospects are also proposed based in-depth understanding fundamental aspects requirements practical

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.

Achieving “Ion Diode” Salt Resistance in Solar Interfacial Evaporation by a Tesla Valve‐Like Water Transport Structure

Small, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 20(43)

Published: June 28, 2024

Salt deposition is a disturbing problem that limits the development of passive solar-driven interfacial evaporation. Inspired by fluid control mechanism Tesla valve, novel solar evaporator proposed with valve-like water transport structure to prevent salt accumulation at evaporation interface. A unique "ion diode" resistance this significantly achieved optimizing two asymmetric structures, consisting one side and wide-leg side, which establish reverse-suppressing forward-accelerating channel. In contrast limited ion migration typical symmetric evaporator, such channel caused water/salt ions difference between supply reinforces on thus leading an apparent unidirectional from bulk through side. Consequently, rate 3.25 kg m
