Abstract

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation technology is widely regarded as a cost-effective and sustainable method for freshwater production. However, conventional evaporators are confined to two-dimensional (2D) structures to ensure sufficient water supply when treating high-salinity brine, which suffer from limited evaporation rates and poor sustained evaporation due to the adverse effects of salt ions. This work introduces a novel three-dimensional (3D) evaporator composed of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) sponge, zwitterionic polyelectrolyte hydrogel, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The porous PVA sponge enhances water transport and mechanical robustness, while the anti-polyelectrolyte effect of the zwitterionic polyelectrolyte hydrogel further improves water transport performance in brine. Additionally, the anti-salt-ion hydration effect of the zwitterionic polyelectrolyte hydrogel activates water molecules in brine to promote evaporation. Under 1 kW m solar irradiance, the 7-cm-high evaporator reaches a stable evaporation rate of 3.35 kg m h in 10 wt% brine during a continuous 9-h operation, with no observable salt deposition or structural degradation on its surface. Furthermore, the zwitterionic polyelectrolyte hydrogel exhibits excellent antibacterial properties, providing additional reliability for practical desalination applications. In outdoor experiments using turbid seawater under natural winter conditions, a simple device incorporating the 3D evaporator gets a freshwater collection rate of 1.37 kg m h, with the ion concentration in collected freshwater reduces by 3-4 orders of magnitude compared to raw seawater, meeting the World Health Organization drinking water standards. This work provides a new pathway and design principles for developing next-generation solar evaporation systems applicable to both seawater desalination and wastewater treatment.

摘要

太阳能驱动的界面蒸发技术被广泛认为是一种具有成本效益且可持续的淡水生产方法。然而,传统蒸发器限于二维(2D)结构,以便在处理高盐度盐水时确保充足的供水,由于盐离子的不利影响,其蒸发速率有限且持续蒸发性能较差。这项工作介绍了一种由聚乙烯醇(PVA)海绵、两性离子聚电解质水凝胶和多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs)组成的新型三维(3D)蒸发器。多孔PVA海绵增强了水的传输和机械强度,而两性离子聚电解质水凝胶的抗聚电解质效应进一步改善了盐水中的水传输性能。此外,两性离子聚电解质水凝胶的抗盐离子水合作用激活了盐水中的水分子以促进蒸发。在1kW m的太阳辐照度下,7厘米高的蒸发器在10wt%的盐水中连续运行9小时期间达到了3.35kg m h的稳定蒸发速率,其表面没有观察到盐沉积或结构降解。此外,两性离子聚电解质水凝胶具有优异的抗菌性能,为实际海水淡化应用提供了额外的可靠性。在自然冬季条件下使用浑浊海水的户外实验中,一个包含3D蒸发器的简单装置的淡水收集速率为1.37kg m h,收集到的淡水中的离子浓度与原海水相比降低了3 - 4个数量级,符合世界卫生组织的饮用水标准。这项工作为开发适用于海水淡化和废水处理的下一代太阳能蒸发系统提供了新的途径和设计原则。
