Synthesis and characterization of hierarchical Ti3C2Tx MXene/graphitic-carbon nitride/activated carbon@luffa sponge composite for enhanced water desalination

Open Ceramics, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 19, P. 100645 - 100645

Published: July 20, 2024

In this study, advanced solar steam technologies are explored for their potential applications in seawater desalination and wastewater purification. We have developed a three-dimensional photothermal evaporator using MXene, luffa sponge (LS), graphitic-carbon nitride (GCN) activated carbon (AC). The hierarchical Ti3C2Tx MXene/GCN/AC@LS composite exhibits superior thermostability, pH stability, mechanical durability. having dimension of 1.25 cm displays excellent performance, leading to high evaporation rate 2.6 kg m−2h−1 solar-thermal conversion efficiency 96 % under 1 sun illumination. This is attributed the good light absorption by coupled with better wetting through internal microchannels LS, which envisages faster water delivery water. captures residual heat from sidewall surface as an additional source energy.
