Solar-driven interfacial evaporation (SDIE) has played a pivotal role in optimizing water-energy utilization, reducing conventional power costs, and mitigating environmental impacts. The increasing emphasis on the synergistic cogeneration of water green electricity through SDIE is particularly noteworthy. However, there gap existing reviews that have focused mechanistic understanding from water-electricity (WEC) systems, structure-activity relationship between efficiency energy utilization WEC material design SDIE. Particularly, it lacks comprehensive discussion to address challenges faced these areas along with potential solutions. Therefore, this review aims comprehensively assess progress future perspective systems by investigating expansion First, provides overview about rational design, thermal management, transportation tunnels Then, summarizes diverse sources utilized process, including steaming generation, photovoltaics, salinity gradient effect, temperature piezoelectric effect. Subsequently, explores factors affect generated WEC. Finally, proposes possible solution development

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation (SIE) technology has great advantages in seawater desalination. However, during the long-term operation of a solar evaporator, salts can be deposited on absorbing surface, which, turn, hinders process. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose new antisalt strategies solve this problem. Here, we present novel cogeneration system leveraging salt-tolerant, heterogeneous Janus-structured evaporator (FHJE) for simultaneous desalination and thermoelectric generation. The top layer composed graphene-based photothermal membrane pre-embedded with Fe3+ cations, which enhanced absorption energy conversion abilities. Meanwhile, cations further contribute Donnan effect, effectively repelling salt ions saltwater. bottom comprises hydrogel hydrophilic phytic acid (PA) poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), fostering facilitation water transport. FHJE was demonstrated exhibit rate efficiency as high 3.655 kg m-2 h-1 94.7% 10 wt% saltwater, respectively, superior resistance ability without accumulation after 8 h continuous (15 wt%). Furthermore, hydropower device constructed, it possesses open-circuit voltage (VOC) maximum output power density up 143 mV 1.33 W under 1 sun, respectively. This study expected provide ideas comprehensive utilization energy.

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

In this work, we analyzed the effects of mineral scaling on performance a 3D interfacial solar evaporator, with focus cations relevant to lithium recovery from brackish water. The field has been rapidly moving toward resource applications brines higher cation concentrations. However, potential complications caused by common minerals in these other than NaCl have largely overlooked. Therefore, study, thoroughly examined two (calcium and magnesium) long-term evaporation graphene oxide stalk. stalk can achieve an flux as high 17.8 kg m–2 h–1 under one-sun illumination, accumulation surface no impact. presence CaCl2 MgCl2 significantly reduces evaporative even solutions lacking scale-forming anions. A close examination scale formation during experiments revealed that tend precipitate out within stalk, thus blocking water transport through dropping rates. These findings imply research attention is needed modify optimize internal channels for evaporators. Additionally, emphasize importance testing realistic mixtures─including prominent divalent cations─ operations investigating approaches mitigate negative impacts cations.
