Engineering anti-scaling superhydrophobic membranes for photothermal membrane distillation
Abstract
The emerging photothermal membrane distillation (PMD), which combines solar harvesting and heat localization, has the potential to address the water-energy nexus. However, PMD membrane scaling and its underlying mechanisms need in-depth examination. Herein, we describe a microsphere structured composite membrane (#PCNT-0.5) with simultaneous superior light-to-heat conversion and superhydrophobic properties, produced by electrospraying a …
