Abstract:
Solar interfacial water evaporation to obtain pure water has attracted extensive attention in recent years. In this work, based on the excellent optical property of FeS 2 and the cross-linking nanostructure of chitosan (CTS), a FeS 2 @CTS hydrogel composite film for solar interfacial water evaporation was developed by hydrothermal synthesis and the following composite coating technology. The prepared FeS 2 @CTS presented high solar absorptivity of 95.27% and fast optical response capability. Under the optimized condition, the evaporation rate of pure water reached 3.34 kg m −2 h −1 and the photothermal conversion efficiency was 103.06% under one sun irradiation. In five runs, the evaporation rate of the FeS 2 @CTS was stable, indicating the excellent cycle stability. Also, in the desalination test, the stable evaporation rate of 1.74 kg m −2 h −1 was obtained in five runs. Due to the simple preparation method, low cost, and outstanding interfacial evaporation property, this FeS 2 @CTS indicates great potential for the seawater desalination or other photothermal conversion applications.
