Biomass / mxene composite aerogel and preparation method and application thereof

This invention relates to the field of solar desalination technology, specifically to a biomass / MXene composite aerogel, its preparation method, and its applications. By introducing sodium lignosulfonate, this invention significantly enhances the oxidative stability of MXene under exposure to air, light, humidity, and heat. First, sodium lignosulfonate adsorbs onto the MXene surface to form a protective layer, preventing MXene from contacting reactive oxygen species. Second, it contains abundant aromatic rings, sulfonic acid groups, phenolic hydroxyl groups, and aliphatic hydroxyl groups. These functional groups interact with oxygen-containing, fluorine-containing, and defective Ti sites on the MXene surface through hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and π-Ti interactions, passivating defect sites on the MXene surface and edges. Furthermore, the strong antioxidant activity of the phenolic hydroxyl groups and ortho-methoxy groups in sodium lignosulfonate preferentially scavenges oxygen species and free radicals, thereby preventing their attack on the Ti-C bonds in MXene.
