A review on photothermal material and its usage in the development of photothermal membrane for sustainable clean water production
Tapping into solar energy seems to be a viable and sustainable solution for the ongoing global challenges of water scarcity and clean energy shortage. However, the natural mechanism of solar energy-driven water evaporation is often compromised by low evaporation rate and water and solar absorption s...

description |
Tapping into solar energy seems to be a viable and sustainable solution for the ongoing global challenges of water scarcity and clean energy shortage. However, the natural mechanism of solar energy-driven water evaporation is often compromised by low evaporation rate and water and solar absorption spectrum mismatch. Therefore, localized heating on the water vapor-liquid interface by light-absorbing materials, known as photothermal materials, has been proposed. This allows the harvesting of energy from the full solar spectrum and high efficiency of light-to-heat conversion. With the emerging advances of photothermal nanomaterials and the urgent demand for a green transition of water treatment technology, the establishment of a photothermal-driven membrane distillation system has been reinvigorated, as seen by the number of publications recently. The efficiency of light absorption and light-to-heat conversion of photothermal materials are critical factors in determining the membrane performances. This review aims to assess the state-of-the-art photothermal materials, including innovative modifications that have been made. The second part is devoted to the emerging aspects and new directions of using these photothermal materials for the development of photothermal membranes. Lastly, the prospects of photothermal membrane for clean water production in the near future are also discussed. |
