Hydrophilic carbon nanotube membrane enhanced interfacial evaporation for desalination

Yaqi Hou et al.

Summary: Carbon nanotube-based (CNT-based) interfacial evaporation material is a promising material for solar desalination. Molecular dynamic simulations were used to study the evaporation rate of CNT-based membranes with different hydrophilic and hydrophobic chemical modified surfaces. The hydrogen bonding density among water molecules at the interface was found to be a key factor in enhancing the evaporation rate. For hydrophilic CNT-based membranes, strong interactions between the outer surface of the membrane and water molecules can disrupt the water-water hydrogen bonding interactions at the interface, resulting in a reduction of the hydrogen bonding density and an enhancement effect in evaporation rate. There is also an optimal thickness for the evaporation membrane.
