摘要

调控太阳能界面蒸发系统的供液量增强局域热效应是提高其效率的有效途径。然而，由于海水淡化过程中容易盐结晶导致阻塞，在控制供液量实现局域加热过程中存在结盐的临界点，在本研究中，利用简便、可尺寸化的编织技术制备了可调控供液速率的芯鞘结构基光热纱线，实现稳定、高效的太阳能界面蒸发同时防止盐结晶。芯-鞘结构纱线由莫代尔纤维作为芯，碳纤维作为鞘。由于芯-鞘的结构设计，在碳纤维内部的超亲水莫代尔纤维可实现高效的液体输送。芯鞘结构纱线中碳纤维将芯纱完全包裹覆盖使得其编织物在整个太阳光波段具有较高的吸光性（92%）。在一个太阳光（1 kW·m−2）下，通过调节芯鞘纱线内莫代尔纱线的股数，可以使此系统的蒸发速率达到2.12 kg·m−2·h−1，能量转换效率达93.7%。实际应用测试表明，此太阳能界面光热系统可以在5%（质量分数）的NaCl溶液中保持高效稳定的海水淡化性能。

Abstract

Tailoring water supply to achieve confined heating has proven to be an effective strategy for boosting solar interfacial evaporation rates. However, because of salt clogging during desalination, a critical point of constriction occurs when controlling the water rate for confined heating. In this study, we demonstrate a facile and scalable weaving technique for fabricating core-sheath photothermal yarns that facilitate controlled water supply for stable and efficient interfacial solar desalination. The core-sheath yarn comprises modal fibers as the core and carbon fibers as the sheaths. Because of the core-sheath design, remarkable liquid pumping can be enabled in the carbon fiber bundle of the dispersed super-hydrophilic modal fibers. Our woven fabrics absorb a high proportion (92%) of the electromagnetic radiation in the solar spectrum because of the weaving structure and the carbon fiber sheath. Under one-sun (1 kW·m−2) illumination, our woven fabric device can achieve the highest evaporation rate (of 2.12 kg·m−2·h−1 with energy conversion efficiency: 93.7%) by regulating the number of core-sheath yarns. Practical application tests demonstrate that our device can maintain high and stable desalination performance in a 5 wt% NaCl solution.
