摘要
Desalination is greatly important for alleviating the global challenge of fresh water resource shortage. However, most of the traditional desalination technologies face the limitation of excessive energy consumption. The emerging solar-driven interfacial evaporation technology has attracted extensive attention in recent year owing to its low-cost, high-energy efficiency and sustainability. During solar interfacial evaporation process, the sun light can be captured by the photothermal conversion material and converted to thermal energy, which is subsequently transferred to the water molecules at interface, resulting in water evaporation and purification. In this review, we firstly summarize the evolution of solar interfacial evaporation system structure design in the past years. Then the development of emerging photothermal conversion materials including metal-based plasma materials, carbon materials, semiconductor and biomass materials in seawater desalination and waste water treatment is reviewed. Furthermore, the potential of solar interfacial evaporation technology for organic solvent purification is proposed and discussed. Lastly, the prospect and challenge of solar interfacial evaporation technology are summarized, and in particular the coupling of solar interfacial evaporation with steam power generation, photocatalysis and photodecomposition of aquatic hydrogen is pointed out. © 2023 Chemical Industry Press.
