Journal ArticleDOI
Polydopamine-filled bacterial nanocellulose as a biodegradable interfacial photothermal evaporator for highly efficient solar steam generation
Qisheng Jiang,Hamed Gholami Derami,Deoukchen Ghim,Sisi Cao,Young-Shin Jun,Srikanth Singamaneni +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a flexible, scalable and, more importantly, completely biodegradable photothermal evaporator for highly efficient solar steam generation is introduced, which is comprised of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) densely loaded with polydopamine (PDA) particles during its growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in solar evaporator materials for freshwater generation
Sisi Cao,Qisheng Jiang,Xuanhao Wu,Deoukchen Ghim,Hamed Gholami Derami,Ping I Chou,Young-Shin Jun,Srikanth Singamaneni +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors comprehensively review the materials and structures of solar evaporators: solar absorbers, substrates (i.e., support layers), and water collectors towards efficient harvesting of sunlight, thermal management, water transportation, interfacial evaporation, and collection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanically interlocked 1T/2H phases of MoS2 nanosheets for solar thermal water purification
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase transition of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) during the exfoliation process enhances the light absorption of the ce-moS2, generating heat more effectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localized heating with a photothermal polydopamine coating facilitates a novel membrane distillation process
TL;DR: In this article, a polydopamine (PDA)-coated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane for highly efficient solar-driven membrane distillation (MD) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose Nanomaterials in Interfacial Evaporators for Desalination: A "Natural" Choice.
TL;DR: Herein, the recent advances in realizing highly efficient cellulose-based solar evaporators for alleviating the global water crisis are summarized.
