摘要

太阳能驱动的界面脱盐技术已成为实现高效海水淡化的一种理想方法。然而, 在海水淡化过程中, 蒸发器表面的盐分积累严重影响海水淡化速度, 特别是对于高盐度海水。本文基于亲水性的脱木质素处理后的木材(DW) 、高熵合金氧化物 (HEAO) 和疏水性聚二甲基硅氧烷 (PDMS) 的可控组装, 成功构建立式Janus界面耐盐太阳能蒸发器, 实现高效的太阳能吸收和稳定的高盐度海水脱盐。疏水性吸光面与亲水蒸发面的分离, 有效避免吸光面上的盐分积累以及入射光与产生的蒸汽间的干扰。在一次太阳光照射下, HW-2S1蒸发器在整个太阳光谱中表现出大于95%的表面太阳光吸收率和在高浓度盐水 (10 wt%盐度) 中1.79 kg·m–2 h–1的稳定蒸发速率, 为可持续太阳能脱盐提供了一条有效途径。
