Abstract

The utilization of solar-driven interfacial evaporation (SIE) technology for clean water production has rapidly expanded, driven by global clean water scarcity and the energy crisis. Recent developments have demonstrated that combining SIE technology with the ion extraction process enables the effective use of abundant sunlight to economically and sustainably harvest high-value minerals from the ocean while simultaneously producing clean water. This synergy not only maximizes resource recovery but also enhances the ecological and economic benefits of solar energy utilization. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the materials and methodologies used in designing multifunctional SIE systems for simultaneous clean water production and high-value ion extraction. The design rationale behind these multifunctional SIE systems, along with various ion extraction strategies and mechanisms, has been thoroughly discussed, identifying both the prevailing challenges and the potential research opportunities in this evolving field. This review aims to highlight the significant potential of SIE technology not only in enhancing clean water availability but also in contributing to sustainable energy and resource management.

期刊介绍： Materials Horizons is a leading journal in materials science that focuses on publishing exceptionally high-quality and innovative research. The journal prioritizes original research that introduces new concepts or ways of thinking, rather than solely reporting technological advancements. However, groundbreaking articles featuring record-breaking material performance may also be published. To be considered for publication, the work must be of significant interest to our community-spanning readership. Starting from 2021, all articles published in Materials Horizons will be indexed in MEDLINE©. The journal publishes various types of articles, including Communications, Reviews, Opinion pieces, Focus articles, and Comments. It serves as a core journal for researchers from academia, government, and industry across all areas of materials research. Materials Horizons is a Transformative Journal and compliant with Plan S. It has an impact factor of 13.3 and is indexed in MEDLINE.
