Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of photothermal materials, in particular to a composite hydrogel-based self-supply photothermal water evaporation device. Background technique
[0002] Solar-driven interfacial water evaporation is considered to be the most promising approach to alleviate freshwater scarcity due to its excellent evaporation performance and thermal management. To maximize evaporation efficiency, various photothermal materials (plasmonic nanoparticles, carbon-based nanomaterials, semiconductors, etc.) and interfaces (self-supporting films, bilayer films, artificial transpiration systems, etc.) have been used to harvest solar energy and Reduce heat loss. Among them, hydrogel-based solar evaporation systems have received extensive attention because the hydrogel network contains a large amount of intermediate water, which can activate water molecules and accelerate water evaporation with a small amount of energy.
[0003] However, most o...
