Surface Engineering of 3D Solar Evaporator for Uncompromising Water Evaporation and Salt Production Toward High Concentration Brine

Advanced Functional Materials, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 34(48)

Опубликована: Июль 6, 2024

Abstract Solar‐driven interfacial evaporation toward highly salinity brine has drawn great attention due to its distinct advantages. Generally, most studies focus on how improve the water rate while restrain salt accumulation evaporators. In fact, generating/recycling during process is of equal importance since also valuable. However, realize high generation keep still a challenge, high‐efficiency and conflicting in cases. Herein, both formation have been achieved via surface engineering 3D evaporator: 1) Constructing surround‐Janus structure with different wettability around evaporator; 2) Enhancing crystallization introduction tapes special surface. Thanks engineering, (20 wt%) can reach up ≈2.8 kg m −2 h −1 , be as ≈0.1 . Moreover, performance well maintained even when evaporator irradiated angles. Specially, proof concept, potential for Li + /Na separation demonstrated.

All‐In‐One Carbon Foam Evaporators for Efficient Co‐Generation of Freshwater and Electricity

Advanced Functional Materials, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 12, 2025

Abstract Combining interfacial solar steam evaporation with power generation to produce freshwater and electricity is an effective approach alleviating scarcity energy crises. However, constructing low‐cost, efficient integrated evaporator‐generator devices remains challenging, the synergistic mechanism underlying evaporation‐power co‐generation not yet well understood. Herein, low‐cost carbon foam‐based bifunctional evaporators that effectively achieve are designed. Carbon foam obtained from waste polyester using a ball‐milling‐assisted carbonization strategy. The evaporator demonstrates excellent water transport, outstanding sunlight absorption, low enthalpy. It achieves ultra‐high rate of 3.03 kg m −2 h −1 conversion efficiency 99.4%. Additionally, it exhibits continuous high voltage (0.33 V) current output (14.4 µA), surpassing performance state‐of‐the‐art materials‐based evaporators/generators. outcome molecular dynamics simulations stronger interaction surface functional groups in Na + than Cl − results formation flow potential, when exposed sunlight, further insights into generation. This study expands new path for sustainable co‐production by collecting natural single, devices.
