Photothermal membrane distillation (PMD) has emerged as a promising and sustainable approach for seawater desalination and wastewater purification. However, the wide application of the technique is severely impeded by low freshwater production and membrane fouling/wetting issues. Herein, we developed an advanced hydrogel-engineered membrane with simultaneously enhanced photothermal conversion capacity and desired fouling and wetting resistance for PMD. By the synergies of photothermal Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets and the tannic acid–Fe3+ network in the hydrogel, the membrane was endowed with excellent surface self-heating ability, yielding the highest freshwater production rate (1.71 kg m–2 h–1) and photothermal efficiency among the fabricated hydrogel composite membranes under 1 sun irradiation. Meanwhile, the PMD membrane could robustly resist oil-induced fouling and surfactant-induced wetting, significantly extending the membrane lifespan in treating contaminated saline water. Furthermore, when desalinating real seawater, the membrane exhibited superior durability with a stable vapor flux and excellent ion rejection (e.g., 99.24% for boron) for 100 h.

Ti3C2TX MXene纳米片和单宁酸-Fe3+网络在构建用于光热膜蒸馏的高性能水凝胶复合膜中的协同效应



光热膜蒸馏(PMD)已成为一种有前途且可持续的海水淡化和废水净化方法。然而,该技术的广泛应用受到淡水产量低和膜污染/润湿问题的严重阻碍。在此,我们开发了一种先进的水凝胶工程膜,同时增强了 PMD 的光热转换能力和所需的防污性和润湿性。通过光热Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene纳米片和水凝胶中单宁酸-Fe 3+网络的协同作用,该膜具有优异的表面自加热能力,产生最高的淡水生产率(1.71 kg m –2 h –1 )和所制造的水凝胶复合膜在 1 个太阳照射下的光热效率。同时,PMD膜可以有效抵抗油引起的污垢和表面活性剂引起的润湿,显着延长膜在处理污染盐水时的使用寿命。此外,在对真实海水进行淡化时,该膜在100小时内表现出优异的耐久性,具有稳定的蒸气通量和优异的离子截留率(例如,硼的截留率为99.24%)。
