Polymeric Membranes with Selective Solution‐Diffusion for Intercepting Volatile Organic Compounds during Solar‐Driven Water Remediation

Advanced Materials, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 32(50)

Published: Nov. 9, 2020

Abstract Solar evaporation through a photothermal porous material provides feasible and sustainable method for water remediation. Several materials have been developed to enhance solar efficiency. However, critical limitation of current is their inability separate from the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in wastewater. Here, microstructured ultrathin polymeric membrane that enables freshwater separation VOC pollutants by with removal rate 90%, reported. The different solution‐diffusion behaviors VOCs membranes facilitate separation. Moreover, owing increased light absorption, enlarged liquid–air interface, shortened mass transfer distance, configuration helps balance tradeoff between permeation selectivity production capacity. not only effective simulated prototype, but can also intercept complex contaminants natural sources produce meets drinking‐water standards. With practical demonstration satisfactory purification performance, this work paves way application
