Solar-driven interfacial evaporation is an attractive method for seawater desalination, but the solid-salt crystallization on solar-absorber severely shelters sunlight and thus deteriorates the evaporation rate. To solve this problem, herein we have reported vertically symmetrical evaporator based on cotton-CsxWO3 fabrics. CsxWO3 nanorods have been prepared and then coated on cotton fabrics. The resulting cotton-CsxWO3 fabrics exhibit broad UV-Vis-NIR photoabsorption from 200 to 2500 nm with solar absorbance efficiency of 90.5%. Subsequently, by coating two similar cotton-CsxWO3 fabrics on double surfaces of a cotton-embedded polystyrene (PS) foam, vertically symmetrical evaporator has been designed and constructed. When the evaporator is floating on NaCl solution (3.5 wt%), cotton-CsxWO3 fabric on top surface can absorb light under solar irradiation (1.0 kW m−2), conferring a high evaporation rate of 1.56 kg m−2 h−1 with an efficiency of 86.8%. When high-concentration (21 wt%) NaCl solution is used, the evaporation rate goes down from 1.52 to 0.53 kg m−2 h−1 within 8 h, due to the solid-salt crystallization on top surface. Importantly, the symmetrical evaporator can be self-cleaned by an inversion strategy (2 times h−1), conferring high and stable rate (1.53–1.58 kg m−2 h−1) in the 20-h cycling evaporation and thus having great potential in the practical seawater desalination.

基于光热织物的垂直对称蒸发器,通过反演策略实现有效的连续脱盐

太阳能驱动的界面蒸发是海水淡化的一种有吸引力的方法,但是太阳能吸收器上的固体盐结晶会严重遮挡阳光,从而降低蒸发速度。为了解决这个问题,在此我们报道了基于棉-Cs x WO 3织物的垂直对称蒸发器。已经制备了Cs x WO 3纳米棒,然后将其涂覆在棉织物上。所得的棉-Cs x WO 3织物在200-2500 nm范围内表现出宽泛的UV-Vis-NIR光吸收,日光吸收效率为90.5%。随后,通过涂覆两个相似的棉-Cs x WO 3设计并制造了棉质嵌入聚苯乙烯(PS)泡沫双面表面上的织物,并设计了垂直对称的蒸发器。当蒸发器漂浮在NaCl溶液(3.5 wt%)上时,顶表面上的Cotton-Cs x WO 3织物可以在太阳辐射下(1.0 kW m -2)吸收光,从而赋予1.56 kg m -2  h的高蒸发速率-1,效率为86.8%。当使用高浓度(21 wt%)NaCl溶液时,由于顶面上的固体盐结晶,蒸发速度在8小时内从1.52 kg m -2  h -1下降到0.53 kg m -2 h -1。重要的是,对称蒸发器可以通过反转策略进行自我清洁(2倍h-1),在20小时循环蒸发中具有较高且稳定的速率(1.53-1.58 kg m -2  h -1),因此在实际的海水淡化中具有很大的潜力。
