Abstract Using solar energy to drive seawater desalination via steam generation (SSG) is a sustainable strategy for clean water supply. The weak efficiency and poor durability due salt deposition severely restrict practical SSG operation. Traditional evaporators are difficult simultaneously guarantee efficient evaporation long‐term rejection increased salinity. Herein, tackle this dilemma, thermal gradient fabric (TGF) evaporator with an auxiliary active field constructed. Different from traditional works where additional resources improved rate exacerbate accumulation, the well integrated external boost ion circulation through moderate Marangoni flow, leading continuous superior utilization under high‐salinity desalination. accelerated (2.42 kg m −2 h −1 ) resistance (30 days of in 10 wt.% brine) achieved optimized construction. An outstanding collection (5.84 observed during outdoor desalination, which proves purification ability. This study provides new insight into construction fields production, believed.

Abstract Overheating of photovoltaic (PV) panels poses a huge challenge to their practical operation. Herein, novel design is proposed that uses seawater interfacial evaporation integrate PV cooling, desalination, and uranium extraction. The sodium alginate (SA) gel with adsorbent filled utilized verify the efficacy this design. As light intensity increases from 0.5 1.5 suns, rate doped SA rises 0.98 2.62 kg m −2 h −1 , output gain panel 4.9 13.1% owing cooling effect gel. Additionally, high adsorption ratio exceeding 90% in 50 mg L solution or obtained under 1 sun (in‐lab). outdoor experiments imply composite can lower surface temperature by up 12 °C, maximum 8%. Meanwhile, capacity 6 g over 10 days also obtained. In summary, our work shows meaningful for multiple resources energy through offshore platforms.

Abstract Unraveling the fundamental mechanisms of sodium ion adsorption behavior is crucial for guiding design electrode materials and enhancing performance capacitive deionization systems. Herein, optimization systematically investigated through robust d–d orbital interactions within zinc‐doped iron carbide, facilitated by a novel liquid nitrogen quenching treatment. Liquid treatment can enhance coordination number, strengthen interactions, promote electron transfer, shift d‐band center Fe closer to Fermi level, thereby ions energy. Consequently, obtained material achieves superior gravimetric capacity 121.1 mg g −1 attractive cyclic durability. The highly competitive compared vast majority related research works in field deionization. Furthermore, adsorption/desorption are substantiated ex situ techniques, revealing dynamic atomic electronic structure evolutions under operational conditions. This work demonstrates that optimizing via modulation enabled an effective approach developing efficient materials.

Abstract L‐Aspartic acid (L‐Asp) poses a dual function, which can affect the evaporation and crystallization process of high‐salinity brine by altering physical or chemical properties salts. MSWI (municipal solid waste incineration) fly ash washing leachate, as typical brine, is utilized here to validate this hypothesis under simulation guidance. Since L‐Asp has stronger adsorption energy on (110) crystal face CaCO 3 , facilitate preferential growth more valuable vaterite during softening (pretreatment before crystallization). Subsequently, resulting solution undergoes stable interfacial solar‐driven L‐Asp, with high salt recovery ratio 0.14 kg m −2 h −1 within 40 1 sun. Finally, harness “cradle grave” full life cycle utilization extracted mixed salts are for moisture‐enabled electricity generation. significantly enhance reducing critical relative humidity salts, thereby exhibiting open circuit potential short‐cut current ≈ 0.51 V 10.6 µA continuous 800 min. In conclusion, work not only provides innovative approaches upcycling wastewater but also explores novel applications L‐Asp.
