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.

多功能太阳能驱动界面蒸发系统，用于同时生产清洁水和高附加值离子提取。

在全球清洁水短缺和能源危机的推动下，太阳能驱动界面蒸发（SIE）技术在清洁水生产中的应用迅速扩大。最近的发展表明，将SIE技术与离子提取工艺相结合，可以有效利用充足的阳光，经济、可持续地从海洋中收获高价值的矿物质，同时产生清洁的水。这种协同作用不仅使资源回收最大化，而且提高了太阳能利用的生态效益和经济效益。在这篇综述中，我们提供了用于设计多功能SIE系统的材料和方法的全面概述，用于同时生产清洁水和高价值离子提取。这些多功能SIE系统背后的设计原理，以及各种离子提取策略和机制，已经进行了深入的讨论，确定了这一不断发展的领域的主要挑战和潜在的研究机会。这篇综述的目的是强调SIE技术的巨大潜力，不仅在提高清洁水的可用性，而且在促进可持续能源和资源管理方面。

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.
