Surface engineering to manipulate solar energy for thermal management by Fei, Jipeng

“…Herein, we functionalized Ti3C2 MXene material as a broadband and high efficiency photothermal converter, which combines with a stable hierarchical porous organic membrane to realize ~50 ℃ surface temperature, 92.1% solar-to-steam efficiency under 1 Sun illumination, and 97.5% salt rejection rate, leading to efficient water harvesting/purification/desalination. The main contribution of this work is the systematic design of 2D solar steam generator, where photothermal efficiency, water transportation and thermal management are optimized within the same setup, which results in ultrahigh evaporation rate and solar to steam efficiency towards the theoretical limitation. …”
