A Biomass-Based Hydrogel Evaporator Modified Through Dynamic Regulation of Water Molecules:Highly Efficient and Cost-Effective

Solar-driven hydrogel evaporator used for water purification demonstrates great potential in seawater desalination and domestic sewage treatment.However,much uncertainty still exists about the most efficient design to obtain cost-effective drinkable water.In this paper,a natural rich biomass Nicandra physalodes(Linn.)Gaertn.polysaccharide was introduced into the polyvinyl alcohol network to control the water distribution during evaporation and build a low-cost hybrid hydrogel solar evaporator with a total material cost of $7.95 m-2.The mixed evaporator works stably in a long-span acid-base range(pH 1-14)and salinity range(0-320 g kg-1).Its daily water purification capacity can reach 24.4 kg m-2 with a water purification capacity of 3.51 kg m-2 h-1 under sunlight.This paper provides a new possibility for a highly efficient and cost-effective water desalination system with guaranteed water quality by focusing on the dynamic regulation of water molecules at the evaporation interface.
