Here, we report a B/N co-doped bismuth encapsulated in carbon tubes. Using CAU-17 as a template, a carbon tubular material with multiple carbon layer structures was successfully synthesized by co-pyrolysis with BCN nanosheets, which achieved effective encapsulation of Bi. As the pyrolysis temperature increased, the continuous evaporation of Bi prompted the transformation of the carbon tube structure from a soft carbon to a hard carbon structure interconnected by multi-layered short graphene flakes. This alleviated the instability of the electrode caused by the volume expansion during the Bi/BiOCl transformation reaction and also provided additional ion storage capacity. When applied to the CDI dechlorination anode, Bi@BCN-900 exhibited a high desalination capacity of 145.96 mg g<sup>−1</sup> and low energy consumption of 0.53 kWh kg<sup>−1</sup> NaCl at an applied voltage of 1.2 V. Moreover, Bi@BCN-900 showed good stability over long-term cycling tests.

However, it remains challenging to achieve high evaporation rate in high-salinity brines and avoid bio-fouling issues. Herein, an antibacterial hydrogel solar evaporator (AHSE) with outstanding hydratability is developed by cross-linking graphene oxide‑calcium silicate hydrate (GO-CSH) with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and N-(phosphonomethyl) iminodiacetic acid decorated polyethyleneimine (PMIDA-PEI) for high-efficiency SDID. The AHSE manifests orderly aligned porous structure with uniformly loaded GO-CSH as hydrophilic channel, improving the capillary-wicking ability of microchannels for rapid water replenishment. Theoretical calculations reveal that the hydration chemistry of AHSE can be enhanced due to the weakened hydrogen bond interaction between CSH and polymer networks, thus benefiting the exposure of hydratable sites for a decreased vaporization enthalpy. As a result, an evaporation rate of 3.25 kg m<sup>−2</sup> h<sup>−1</sup> and an energy conversion efficiency of 95 % under one sun irradiation are achieved in 25 wt% brine without salt accumulation. In addition, AHSE exhibits excellent antibacterial activity, as well as the antifouling functionality, guaranteeing the durability of evaporator and freshwater safety in practical applications.
