The temperature-dependence of the volume and surface hydrophilicity a series water-swollen dense polymer brushes is measured by contact angle measurements in captive bubble configuration, ellipsometry, quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). Thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) poly(di(methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate) (PMEO2MA), strongly hydrophilic poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) (POEGMA), weakly poly(2-hydroxyethyl...
Abstract Interfacial solar vapor generation has revived the solar-thermal-based desalination due to its high conversion efficiency of energy. However, most evaporators reported so far suffer from severe salt-clogging problems during desalination, leading performance degradation and structural instability. Here, we demonstrate a free-standing salt-rejecting reduced graphene oxide (rGO) membrane serving as an efficient, stable, antisalt-fouling evaporator. The evaporation rate reaches up 1.27...
Highly efficient vapor generation with considerable stability under natural solar irradiance is a promising technology for seawater desalination and wastewater purification. Here broadband absorber of reduced graphene oxide hydrogel membrane (rGOHM), synthesized via an environmentally friendly one-step hydrothermal reduction process, demonstrated, which shows high rate production superior stability. The porous rGOHM containing more than 99.5% water within its small volume floats on the...
Energy-saving membrane separation for water purification is increasingly desired, which requires appropriate nanofiltration membranes enabling to reject undesired solutes efficiently and allows high permeation of water. Herein, we report the fabrication three-dimensional lamellar reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hydrogel with a one-step, environment-friendly water/vapor interfacial hydrothermal assembly process corresponding aerogel by freeze-drying method. The structures can be tuned from...
