In situ chemo‐polymerized polypyrrole‐coated filter paper for high‐efficient solar vapor generation

“…The efficient collection of solar energy is an essential part of solar steam generation devices. In recent years, benefiting from the exploration of a number of photothermal, including carbon-based materials (carbon black, CNTs, graphene, GO, and rGO), 18 [29][30][31][32][33][34][35] ceramicbased materials (TiN and Ti 3 C 2 ), 8,36 plasmonic metal nanomaterials (Au and Ag,), [37][38][39] and polymer materials (polypyrrole [PPy], polydopamine, poly(1,3,5-hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine), and conjugated microporous polymers), [40][41][42][43][44][45] because of their broadband and high light absorption, great progress has been made in the design and fabrication of high efficiency solar steam generation devices. 46 In general, PPy, as a conjugated conductive polymer, has been explored for many applications, for instance, light-emitting diodes, [47][48][49][50] supercapacitor, 51,52 medical treatment, 53 catalysts, 54 and corrosion protection.…”

“…55,56 Moreover, based on its strong near-infrared light absorption (wavelength >700 nm), good in vivo biocompatibility, low biotoxicity, and facile chemical polymerization, PPy exhibits a great potentiality in the field of photothermal evaporation, and it is also studied extensively as the photothermal agent for cancer removal. 41 And in the report of Mu et al, they proposed a kapok fiber-PPy aerogels with a porous structure, owing to the good excellent light absorption and low thermal conductivity, the solar steam generation device achieved a high energy conversion efficiency of 82.4% under an illumination of 1 kW m −2 . 41 And in the report of Mu et al, they proposed a kapok fiber-PPy aerogels with a porous structure, owing to the good excellent light absorption and low thermal conductivity, the solar steam generation device achieved a high energy conversion efficiency of 82.4% under an illumination of 1 kW m −2 .…”

Tribological properties of the polyacrylate/PTFE coating modified by POSS in the space environment

“…Polymer materials have been extensively applied in aerospace because of their strong mechanical properties, high wear resistance, good self‐lubrication properties, easy manufacturing processes, and chemical inertness . Particularly, organic bonded lubricating coatings (OBLCs) provides excellent radiation resistance for spacecraft as a surface protection material and plays an active role in reducing friction and improving the wear resistance of the spacecraft.…”

Superhydrophilic and Oleophobic Porous Architectures Based on Basalt Fibers as Oil‐Repellent Photothermal Materials for Solar Steam Generation

“…Whereas O-BFT is protected by PDDA- (Figure 7h). Finally,t he evaporation efficiency [51] of O-BFT was found to be 81 %, whichi sf ar higher than that before treatment (26 %;Figure7i).M oreover,u ntreated BFT absorbs both water and oil, resulting in as ignificant reduction in the amount of oil. O-BFT attachedo nly at hin layer of oilb ut did not absorb it, indicatingg ood hydrophilic and oleophobic properties.…”
