Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photothermal film distillation technology, specifically relating to a copper oxide / polyvinylidene fluoride Janus photothermal film, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Recently, membrane distillation (MD) has been used for wastewater treatment, but the large amount of material heating required in practical applications leads to temperature polarization, and the high investment required still limits its industrial application. Therefore, developing green treatment technologies with low carbon footprints is particularly important. Solar-powered photothermal membrane distillation (PMD) technology is rapidly emerging in the field of seawater desalination. Under sunlight, thermal localization maintains a high temperature on the membrane surface, and the local temperature gradient drives the evaporation of the feed liquid at the boundary layer of the membrane surface. The resulting water vapor passes through the microporous hydrophobic membrane and condenses into pure water. However, due to limitations imposed by membrane wetting when treating high-concentration, multi-component organic industrial wastewater, its application in wastewater treatment is rarely reported.
[0003] Previous studies have proposed methods to mitigate membrane wetting by constructing a hydrophilic layer on a hydrophobic substrate to prepare Janus composite membranes. The hydrophilic membrane adsorbs organic solvents, thereby reducing its hydrophilicity and preventing organic solvents or surfactants from reaching the hydrophobic layer. Furthermore, the hydrophilic layer in the Janus membrane structure can reduce mass transfer resistance between evaporation and condensation processes. The structure of the Janus membrane shortens the water vapor transport path, accelerating water vapor condensation, and also blocks heat transfer, increasing the transmembrane temperature difference and reducing temperature polarization, which is beneficial for improving flux. The photothermal performance of the Janus membrane is the core of photothermal membrane distillation; controlling the microstructure of the photothermal material to create biomimetic light traps is beneficial for improving photothermal performance.
[0004] However, Janus photothermal composite membranes prepared by methods such as surface coating, vacuum filtration, and electrospinning still suffer from secondary pollution caused by photothermal material shedding during recycling. Therefore, constructing a stable and recyclable Janus photothermal membrane with both excellent photothermal performance and anti-wetting properties is crucial for the treatment of photothermal membrane distillation (PMD) wastewater. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention relates to a copper oxide / polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) Janus photothermal film, its preparation method, and its applications, aiming to solve the problems existing in the background art. By introducing solar energy into the photothermal layer on the film surface, efficient local heating replaces the need for heat pump heating to supply the entire feed system, eliminating the inherent temperature polarization limitations of traditional MD (distillation membrane) and reducing energy input. The hydrophobic microporous structure of the PVDF substrate has excellent separation performance. By controlling the preparation conditions, a hydrophilic photothermal layer of copper oxide (CuO) with biomimetic light traps is constructed, which plays a photothermal anti-wetting role. The photothermal film has an interconnected pore structure, and the anchoring effect of in-situ oxidation after chemical plating gives the CuO photothermal layer excellent bonding force with the PVDF substrate, achieving efficient local heating and long-term stable operation. The copper oxide / PVDF Janus photothermal film prepared by this invention has broad application prospects in the field of photothermal membrane distillation wastewater treatment.

Subsequently, electroless copper plating solution A, electroless copper plating solution B, and deionized water were mixed in a certain proportion, stirred evenly, and poured into a petri dish. After electroless plating at 35℃ for 2 hours, it was removed, rinsed with plenty of deionized water, and then dried in the air.
[0009] (3) Preparation of in-situ oxidation of copper oxide / polyvinylidene fluoride Janus photothermal film (CuO / PVDF): Different concentrations of NaOH and (NH4)2S2O8 were dissolved in 50 mL of deionized water. After stirring and mixing, the mixture was poured into a petri dish and oxidized in situ for a certain period of time. The mixture was then rinsed with deionized water and dried in an oven at 60 °C for 1 h.
