The invention belongs to the technical field of solar
seawater desalination, and relates to a preparation method and application of a photo-thermal
nanofiber membrane with a corrugated structure and a
skin effect, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out electrostatic
spinning on a
polymer spinning solution to prepare a hydrophobic
nanofiber membrane; modifying a photothermal
polymer on the surface of the hydrophobic
nanofiber membrane by adopting an in-situ
polymerization method to obtain a hydrophilic nanofiber membrane; and then the hydrophilic nanofiber membrane is hot-pressed into a corrugated shape, and the photo-thermal nanofiber membrane is obtained. Compared with the prior art, the preparation method has the advantages of abundant
raw material sources, large specific surface area, low cost and the like, a layer of
skin-like thin water film is spontaneously formed on the wetted
fiber surface, a
water channel can be locked on the
fiber surface, accurate local
water layer heating is realized, a steam escape path and an
evaporation area are increased, and the
moisture absorption effect is improved. The
evaporation efficiency is obviously improved. Meanwhile, the
evaporation area can be further enlarged through the corrugated structure design, and therefore the overall evaporation performance is cooperatively improved.
