The invention discloses a dual-function
coupling device for synchronously enhancing photo-thermal
evaporation water-salt separation and super
capacitor performance. An upper
electrode, a water conveying layer and a lower
electrode are arranged above a water tank from top to bottom and are tightly attached to each other; the front extending section of the water conveying layer penetrates through a heat
insulation layer arranged on the top of the water tank to make contact with
seawater in the water tank, the rear extending section of the water conveying layer reaches a side salt
precipitation layer arranged on the outer side of the water tank, the upper
electrode serves as a photo-thermal /
evaporation interface,
seawater in the water conveying layer serves as
electrolyte, and the water conveying layer serves as a diaphragm. The upper electrode, the water conveying layer and the lower electrode are tightly attached to form a
supercapacitor structure, the device can synchronously perform solar photo-thermal
evaporation water-salt separation and
supercapacitor energy storage, and meanwhile, the device shows a synergistic enhancement effect when working; heat generated in the charging and discharging process of the
supercapacitor can improve the
evaporation rate to promote water-salt separation.
