Abstract:Construction of Janus-wetting interfaces in solar thermal
evaporation
is one of the most widely applied strategies to overcome salt accumulation
to prolong a system’s lifetime. Nevertheless, hydrophobicity
and steam escape in traditional Janus floating evaporators are negatively
correlated, resulting in the trade-off between salt resistance and
the evaporation rate. Herein, a scalable suspended-slope evaporator
(SSE) based on the inverse wettability polypyrrole (PPy) fabric is
designed to surmount the long-ter… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
