This work presents a synergistic strategy for salt resistance, water purification and energy generation, advancing the design of solar-thermal-electric integrated systems.
In this contribution, we synthesized PIL/MXene composite porous membranes via ionic complexation and successfully applied them in solar-driven clean water production. The as-prepared composite porous membranes maintained structural stability and integrity as compared to a pristine PIL porous membrane.
Water has always been crucial to combustion and hydroelectric processes, but it could become the source of power in membrane-based systems that capture energy from natural and waste waters. Two processes are emerging as sustainable methods for capturing energy from sea water: pressure-retarded osmosis and reverse electrodialysis.
Owning to advantages of ionically crosslinked structure of PIL/MXene porous membranes, the porous composite membrane is tuneable with controllable thickness in the range of 15–180 µ m, being an ideal solar absorber required for the design of a solar-driven vapor generator with high evaporation rate and efficient energy conversion. 2.
Since Xue et al. first proposed electricity generation induced by a water evaporation process based on a hydrovoltaic effect, solar-driven interfacial water–electricity cogeneration has emerged as a promising solar energy utilization technology for clean water and energy collection [4, 5, 6].
