A Janus-type hygroscopic hydrogel for reusable robust dehumidification and efficient solar thermal desorption

Yingying Chen et al.

Summary: High humidity can cause various hazards, necessitating the development of efficient and environmentally friendly dehumidifying materials. In this study, a reusable Janus-type cellulose nanofibrillated hydrogel @ graphene oxide matrix photothermal composite (CGH) was manufactured. The CGH exhibited excellent air dehumidification performance and efficient solar thermal desorption performance. Moreover, it was capable of reducing relative humidity from 97.1% to 39.2% in a dynamic environment. These findings highlight the potential of CGH for reusable and environmentally friendly dehumidification.

Highly Salt-Resistant interfacial solar evaporators based on Melamine@Silicone nanoparticles for stable Long-Term desalination and water harvesting

Xiaopeng Huang et al.

Summary: Silicone nanoparticles were deposited onto melamine sponge and modified with polypyrrole and Au nanoparticles to fabricate highly saltresistant solar evaporators for stable long-term desalination and water harvesting. These solar evaporators have a superhydrophilic hull for water transport and solar desalination, and a superhydrophobic nucleus for reducing heat loss. They achieved spontaneous rapid salt exchange and reduction in salt concentration gradient due to ultrafast water transport and replenishment in the superhydrophilic hull with a hierachical micro-/nanostructure, effectively preventing salt deposition during interfacial solar-driven evaporation (ISE). These solar evaporators demonstrated long-term stable evaporation performance and the ability to collect fresh water without any salt precipitation.

Sandwich-Structured Photothermal Wood for Durable Moisture Harvesting and Pumping

Yu-Tang Li et al.

Summary: Moisture capture combined with photothermal regeneration offers a sustainable approach to obtaining fresh water. The use of composite moisture absorbents based on hygroscopic salts is effective, but faces challenges such as desiccant leakage and salt accumulation on material surfaces. The development of a superhydrophobic-hydrophilic-hydrophobic photothermal wood embedded with CaCl2 addresses these issues and enables condensation and evaporation within the wood, making it a promising option for moisture harvesting and indoor dehumidification.
