    Janus结构MoS2蒸发器的制备及其太阳能界面水蒸发性能

    Preparation of Janus-structured MoS2 evaporator and its solar-driven interfacial water evaporation performance

    • 摘要: 太阳能驱动的界面水蒸发因清洁、低能耗和可持续等优势,在海水淡化和废水处理领域展现出广阔的应用前景。然而,传统蒸发器存在光热转换效率不足、热损失大以及易发生盐分积累等问题,限制了其实际应用。基于此,本研究以聚氨酯(PU)海绵为三维骨架,采用聚合交联并结合冷冻干燥的方式引入MoS2,制备了MoS2@PU凝胶海绵,进一步通过聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)表面改性构筑了具有非对称润湿性的Janus结构蒸发材料(Js-PMP)。结果表明,Js-PMP保持了良好的三维连通多孔结构,兼具优异的光热转换能力和稳定的输水性能。在室内1 kW m−2光照下,由Js-PMP所组装蒸发器的蒸发速率达到2.287 kg·m2·h1,基于等效蒸发焓计算的表观蒸发效率为143.9%,显著优于纯水、PU和MoS2@PU。同时,该蒸发器在3.5 wt%模拟海水的循环测试中也表现出良好的蒸发稳定性,并具有优异的耐盐性能。在户外自然太阳光条件下,Js-PMP的蒸发速率随太阳辐照强度和环境温湿度变化而动态改变,平均蒸发速率高达3.495 kg·m2·h1。本研究为高效、稳定的太阳能界面水蒸发材料和装置的设计提供了新思路。

       

      Abstract: Solar-driven interfacial water evaporation has attracted extensive attention in desalination and wastewater treatment because of its cleanliness, low energy consumption, and sustainability. However, the practical application of conventional evaporators is still hindered by insufficient photothermal conversion efficiency, significant heat loss, and salt accumulation during operation. Herein, a MoS2@PU gel sponge was fabricated by introducing MoS2 into the three-dimensional framework of polyurethane (PU) sponge through polymer crosslinking combined with freeze-drying. Subsequently, a Janus-structured evaporative material (Js-PMP) with asymmetric wettability was further constructed via surface modification by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The results show that Js-PMP retains a well-interconnected three-dimensional porous structure and exhibits excellent photothermal conversion capability as well as stable water transport performance. Under 1 kW·m−2 indoor illumination, the evaporation rate of the Js-PMP assembled evaporator reaches 2.287 kg·m2·h1, and the apparent evaporation efficiency calculated based on the equivalent evaporation enthalpy is 143.9%, which is significantly superior to pure water, PU, and MoS2@PU. In addition, the evaporator shows good cycling stability in 3.5 wt% simulated seawater and exhibits excellent salt resistance. Under outdoor natural sunlight, the evaporation rate of Js-PMP varied dynamically with solar irradiance, ambient temperature, and relative humidity, with an average evaporation rate as high as 3.495 kg·m2·h1. This work provides a new strategy for the design of efficient and stable materials and devices for solar-driven interfacial water evaporation.
