The invention relates to the technical field of
high polymer materials, in particular to a high-entropy
alloy modified
polyvinyl alcohol /
polypyrrole composite hydrogel material as well as a preparation method and application thereof. Firstly, a
polypyrrole aqueous solution is prepared through chemical oxidative
polymerization, and high-entropy
alloy nanoparticles are synthesized through a
Joule thermal technology; and then mixing a
polypyrrole aqueous solution, the high-entropy
alloy nanoparticles and a
polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution, and adding a cross-linking agent and a catalyst to prepare the high-entropy alloy modified
polyvinyl alcohol / polypyrrole composite hydrogel material. According to the composite hydrogel, under the synergistic effect of the high-entropy alloy, the light absorption performance is remarkably improved, wide-spectrum efficient absorption of
ultraviolet rays, visible light and near-
infrared light in a solar spectrum is achieved, and meanwhile the
mechanical strength and
chemical stability of the material are enhanced. The preparation process is simple, the cost is low, and the prepared composite hydrogel has wide application prospects in the fields of
seawater desalination,
wastewater treatment and the like as a solar interface
evaporator.
