Abstract Solar‐driven evaporation process brings exciting opportunities to recover clean water and resources in a sustainable way from diverse sources like seawater wastewater. Separation membranes, as vital material many environmental energy applications, can contribute significantly this owing their structural features. However, the unique roles of membranes solar evaporator construction design are seldom recognized not summarized yet scientific principles application demands, which forms motivation review. Herein, different processes based on solar‐driven focused membrane materials devices meet requirements these applications discussed. Fabrication strategies for photothermal introduced primarily, followed by discussion how materials, devices, pursue optimal performance realize advanced functions accompanied evaporation. Furthermore, future field is forecast with both challenges opportunities.

Abstract Water and energy are two strategic drivers of sustainable development, intimately interlaced vital for a secure future humanity. Given that water resources limited, whereas global population demand exponentially growing, the competitive balance between these resources, referred to as water-energy nexus, is receiving renewed focus. The desalination industry alleviates stress by producing freshwater from saline sources, such seawater, brackish or groundwater. Since last decade, market has been dominated membrane technology, offering significant advantages over thermal processes, lower demand, easy process control scale-up, modularity flexible productivity, feasibility synergic integration different operations. Although seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) accounts more than 70% capacity, it circumscribed some technological limitations, as: (i) relatively low recovery factor (around 50%) due negative impact osmotic polarization phenomena; (ii) an consumption in range 3–5 kWh m −3 , still far theoretical (1.1 ) produce potable (at 50% factor). Ultimately, intensive practice research efforts oriented toward development alternative energy-efficient approaches order enhance without placing excessive strain on limited supplies. Recent years have seen relevant surge interest distillation (MD), thermally driven technology having potential complement SWRO logic Process Intensification Zero Liquid Discharge paradigm. Due its peculiar transport mechanism negligibility phenomena, MD allows high-quality distillate production (theoretically, non-volatile species completely rejected) with up 80% at operative temperature (typically 60 °C–80 °C). temperatures make attractive renewable power applications (e.g. solar thermal, wind geothermal sources) efficient exploitation low-grade waste heat streams, efficiency intrinsically losses—and specifically polarization—has so hindered application industrial scale. Nowadays, photothermal materials able absorb convert natural artificial irradiation into gained great attention, demonstrating mitigate ‘anthropic’ input inefficiencies. On this road, step-change improvement light-to-heat conversion expected through high-throughput computational screening thermoplasmonic based electronic optical properties advanced including novel topological phases matter used nanofillers polymeric membranes. Coherently concept Circular Economy, hypersaline solutions rejected (referred ‘brine’) now subject valorization activities along main routes: (1) valuable minor trace metals minerals, special focus critical raw (including, among others, Mg, Na, Ca, K, Sr, Li, Br, B, Rb); (2) salinity gradient (SGP) resulting Gibbs mixing (mainly represented entropic contribution) ionic concentration. exciting new frontier mining concentrates accelerating appearance plethora innovative methods brine dehydration selective extraction ions, although under sword Damocles cost reliable commercial application. other hand, several emerging technologies, electrodialysis (SGP-RED) was already proven capable—at least kW scale–of turning chemical difference river water, electrical energy. Efforts develop next generation ion exchange membranes exhibiting high perm-selectivity (especially monovalent ions) resistance, improve system engineering optimize operational conditions, pursue goal enhancing density achievable (in few W per 2 ). This Roadmap takes form series short contributions written independently worldwide experts topic. Collectively, provide comprehensive picture current state art science how future. In addition, acknowledges challenges advances systems, particularly emphasizing interplay material innovation optimization, which collectively contribute advancing field within nexus framework.
