| Abstract | Solar desalination has been extensively researched as a promising way to address freshwater shortages. However, developing a salt resistant solar evaporator that can be easily extended and manufactured is still a challenge in practical applications. In this work, a 3D hydrogel-based salt resistant self-floating solar-driven interfacial evaporator with efficient water-lifting capacity was proposed using the prepared hydrogel with carbon black (CB) nanoparticles and extruded polystyrene (XPS) board as raw materials. The experimental results implied that the developed evaporator had the highest evaporation rate and evaporation efficiency at 0.05 g CB loading, which were 1.70 kg m- 2h- 1 and 92.8 % at a light intensity of 1 kW m- 2. Moreover, the evaporator also displayed prominent salt resistance in the evaporation of brine with high salinity and outstanding stability after 10 cycles. Significantly, the outdoor experiment demonstrated that 1 m2 evaporator can generate 5923.5 g freshwater per day, which was enough to meet the daily requirement of two adults for drinking water. In addition, the physical fields of the hydrogel with CB nanoparticles of the evaporator at evaporation equilibrium were simulated to analyze its long-term and high-performance operation capability. All in all, the 3D hydrogel-based salt resistant self-floating solar-driven interfacial evaporator with efficient water-lifting capacity presented an enormous application prospect in the field of solar desalination. |
