2D MoN1.2-rGO Stacked Heterostructures Enabled Water State Modification for Highly Efficient Interfacial Solar Evaporation

Huimin Yu et al.

Summary: Lowering evaporation enthalpy is crucial for improving solar evaporation rate in solar-driven seawater desalination. This study presents a new approach to lower vaporization enthalpy by introducing heterogeneous interactions between hydrophilic hybrid materials and water molecules. The integration of 2D MoN1.2 nanosheets and rGO nanosheets forms stacked MoN1.2-rGO heterostructures, which significantly improve interfacial solar evaporation due to their massive junction interfaces. Molecular dynamics simulation reveals that the interactions between 2D MoN1.2 and rGO with water molecules lead to an imbalanced water state, breaking the hydrogen bonds and resulting in lowered vaporization enthalpy and improved evaporation rate (2.6 kg m(-2) h(-1)). This research provides a promising strategy for designing 2D-2D heterostructures to regulate evaporation enthalpy for cleaner water production.

Superhydrophilic Polydopamine-Modified Carbon-Fiber Membrane with Rapid Seawater-Transferring Ability for Constructing Efficient Hanging-Model Evaporator

Wenmei Chong et al.

Summary: Solar-driven seawater desalination using superhydrophilic CFM@PDA as an efficient hanging-model evaporator demonstrates high evaporation rate and solar evaporation efficiency, overcoming limitations such as complicated fabrication processes, poor seawater transfer, and salt accumulation. The CFM@PDA coating, achieved through simple self-polymerization of dopamine, provides high solar absorption efficiency and superhydrophilicity. The hanging CFM@PDA exhibits excellent seawater transport capability, outperforming commercial cotton fabric. It also shows salt accumulation resistance during prolonged operation, making it a promising solution for continuous salt-free desalination.
