The escalating water and energy crises have led to attempts at combining purifying water and blue energy harvesting using solar interfacial evaporation systems (SIESs) based on hybrid systems. The thermally-localized multi-stage recycling and water–energy co-generation devices that have been proposed have a solar-to-vapor efficiency exceeding the thermodynamic limit and achieve comprehensive energy utilization, harvesting sustainable gains. However, that breakthroughs in solar energy efficiency does not effectively mobilize the energy contained in water and its substance, and the need to explore practical application potential in diverse water scenarios. Actual high-entropy water contains thermal and chemical energy and extracting this in situ energy and feeding back to SIES through a photo–thermal–electric synergy mechanism could lead to a high-performance energy cycle. From this perspective, this study reviewed SIES research across light, thermal and hydrochemical fields and the corresponding energy units and then quantified the gain effect. A multi-field synergy concept is proposed to regulate the relationships between water molecules, electrons, and ions further exploring the possibilities for improving water yield, water quality, fuel and power. This study provides new insights into multi-disciplinary and multi-field water treatment technologies that are based on sustainable energy sources.

具有多领域协同作用的太阳能界面蒸发系统促进水净化和蓝色能量收集技术


不断升级的水和能源危机导致人们尝试使用基于混合系统的太阳能界面蒸发系统（SIES）将净化水和蓝色能量收集结合起来。已提出的热局部多级回收和水能热电联产装置，其太阳能-蒸汽效率超过热力学极限，实现能源综合利用，获得可持续收益。然而，太阳能效率的突破并不能有效地调动水及其物质所蕴含的能量，需要探索在不同水场景中的实际应用潜力。实际的高熵水含有热能和化学能，提取这些原位能量并通过光热电协同机制反馈到SIES可以产生高性能的能量循环。从这个角度出发，本研究回顾了光、热和水化学领域以及相应能量单位的SIES研究，然后量化了增益效应。提出了多场协同概念来调节水分子、电子和离子之间的关系，进一步探索提高产水量、水质、燃料​​和电力的可能性。这项研究为基于可持续能源的多学科和多领域水处理技术提供了新的见解。
