Abstract Solar‐driven interfacial evaporation is a promising technology for freshwater production from seawater, but salt accumulation on the evaporator surface hinders its performance and sustainability. In this study, we report simple green strategy to fabricate three‐dimensional porous graphene spiral roll (3GSR) that enables highly efficient solar evaporation, collection, water near‐saturated brine with zero liquid discharge (ZLD). The 3GSR design facilitates energy recovery, radial transport, directional crystallization, thereby resulting in an ultrahigh rate of 9.05 kg m −2 h −1 25 wt% under 1‐sun illumination 48 continuously. Remarkably, crystallization outer not only enlarges area also achieves collection 2.92 , thus enabling ZLD desalination. Additionally, exhibits record‐high 3.14 outdoor test. This innovative solution offers continuous desalination method treatment, which has great implications addressing global scarcity environmental issues arising disposal.

Solar‐Driven Evaporator With “Starburst Turbine” Design Featuring Directional Salt Crystallization, Antibacterial, and Catalytic Multifunctionality for Efficient Water Purification

Advanced Science, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Сен. 25, 2024

Abstract Facing the global challenge of water scarcity, solar‐driven desalination is considered a sustainable technology for obtaining freshwater from seawater. However, issues such as uncontrolled salt crystallization and bacterial contamination limit its efficiency practicality. This study proposes an innovative evaporator designed to address these challenges using optimized shape design advanced photothermal materials. Based on finite element analyses, cylindrical evaporators with “Starburst Turbine” are fabricated, achieving directional record‐breaking collection rate 3.56 kg m −2 h −1 evaporation 4.57 under one sun illumination. During continuous 60‐h illumination tests, maintained stable rate, attributed excellent capability. Additionally, demonstrates superior photodynamic antibacterial performance photocatalytic degradation organic pollutants. Under 1 h, it achieves 100% sterilization S. aureus E. coli , 95.4% methylene blue (MB), demonstrating potential purify various wastewater types. These findings underscore significant scientific practical value integrating functions into solar purification materials, providing solution scarcity environmental protection.
