Abstract
Catalytic CoFe2O4 and solar-thermal carbon nanotube decorated bamboo fabrics(CCBF)are fabricated for integrating efficient solar steam generation from wastewater with catalytic degradation of its organic con-taminants.Thanks to the numerous porous channels and polar groups of bamboo fabric and the efficient solar-thermal energy conversion of black carbon nanotubes,the porous and hydrophilic CCBF exhibits fast upward transport of water,efficient solar light absorption,and high solar-thermal energy conversion effi-ciency.The decorated CoFe2O4 not only enhances the solar-thermal energy conversion efficiency of CCBF but also activates potassium peroxymonosulfate to generate abundant highly active species for catalytic degradation of bisphenol A(BPA).Furthermore,folding the CCBF into a peak-like 3D evaporator can en-hance solar energy utilization,and gain environmental energy for promoting solar-thermal water evapo-ration and catalytic degradation performances.The 3D CCBF evaporator achieves a water evaporation rate of 2.72 kg m-2 h-1 under 1-sun irradiation.Meanwhile,100%of the BPA in the seawater can be degraded within 10 min.An exceptional high purification efficiency of 27.72 kg m-2 h-1 is achieved with the 3D evaporator during a long-term treatment of BPA-containing seawater under 1-sun irradiation.This work demonstrates efficient purification of seawater/wastewater with both metal ions and organic pollutants by simultaneous solar-thermal evaporation of water and catalytic degradation of organic pollutants.
