“…Gao et al. [ 31 ] prepared monodispersed porous TiN nanospheres using a wet‐chemistry synthesis of Titanium nitride TiO 2 with subsequent nitridation. The optimum solar evaporation film prepared using the porous TiN nanospheres and a filter membrane (TiN/FM) exhibited a reflectance lower than 19% over the entire solar spectrum, with an associated water evaporation rate of 1.68 kg m −2 h −1 and solar‐steam conversion efficiency of 93.4% under AM 1.5 irradiation.…”

The application of solar thermal conversion is an effective means of utilizing solar energy. In this study, plain, honeycomb, and terry cotton fabrics are carbonized into carbon fiber fabrics at high temperatures, with subsequent Titanium nitride (TiN) modification. The dependence of the carbon fabric properties on structure is investigated. Fiber stability, high absorbance, and structural characteristics contribute to efficient performance in solar steam generation. The vertical loop array associated with the surface of the terry structure results in improved absorbance, limiting loss of TiN particles with a consequent enhancement of fiber photothermal conversion. The optimal TiN carbon fiber fabric (TiN CFF) based evaporator can achieve a water evaporation rate of 1.82 kg m−2 h−1 under one sun with up to 93.4% absorbance. Moreover, the fiber exhibits good cycling stability and seawater desalination performance. The synergism due to TiN modification and the terry fabric structure results in an efficient and low‐cost evaporator preparation method, which can be effectively applied in photothermal conversion materials and seawater desalination.

Polymer based low evaporation enthalpy materials have become a universal selection for improving the efficiency of solar steam generation. Although water cluster and intermediate water mechanisms have been proposed to explain the low evaporation enthalpy, the production process and microstructure of activated water are still unclear. Here, crystal plane engineering is used to investigate the intermediate water state and the water cluster activation mechanism. The unique open-closed coordination structure on the optimized crystal surface promotes the generation of firm water clusters by optimizing the intermediate water state.Under the similar solar energy absorption of all materials, crystal plane engineering increased the solar steam generation rate of the evaporator by 31.2% and increased the energy efficiency to 94.8%. Exploring the micro-evaporation process and activated water structure is expected to stimulate the development of the next generation low evaporation enthalpy materials.
