Water Skin Effect and Arched Double‐Sided Evaporation for Boosting All‐Weather High Salinity Desalination (Adv. Energy Mater. 21/2023)

Abstract

In article number 2300134, Chengbing Wang, Dan Wei, and co-workers propose a synergistic strategy of water skin effect and double-sided evaporation for boosting all-weather high salinity desalination. An all-in-one arched double-sided evaporator with long-term salt rejection, and water-electricity generation is constructed. The synergistic strategy effectively enhances solar desalination performance.

Ferric Tannate-Decorated Polyester Fiber Pillar with Vertical Channels for Zero Liquid Discharge Solar Desalination

“…The concentration of salt ions in the evaporated water meets the World Health Organization standards. 50,51 The concentration of Fe 3+ was detected due to FeCl 3 •6H 2 O being a reaction chemical. The concentration of Fe 3+ in the evaporated water is negligible at 0.01 "ppm".…”
