TL;DR: It is demonstrated that enhancing the hydrability of the h-LAH could change the water state and partially activate the water, hence facilitating water evaporation, and raises the solar vapor generation to a record rate of ~3.6 kg m−2 hour−1 under 1 sun.
Abstract: Water purification by solar distillation is a promising technology to produce fresh water. However, solar vapor generation, is energy intensive, leading to a low water yield under natural sunlight. Therefore, developing new materials that can reduce the energy requirement of water vaporization and speed up solar water purification is highly desirable. Here, we introduce a highly hydratable light-absorbing hydrogel (h-LAH) consisting of polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan as the hydratable skeleton and polypyrrole as the light absorber, which can use less energy ( −2 hour −1 under 1 sun. The h-LAH-based solar still also exhibits long-term durability and antifouling functionality toward complex ionic contaminants.
