Dual-functional hierarchical hydrogel for solar interface evaporation and absorption-dominated EMI shielding
The global freshwater crisis and escalating electromagnetic interference (EMI) pollution necessitate the development of multifunctional materials for sustainable water purification and electromagnetic protection. Herein, we propose a biomimetic hierarchical hydrogel featuring a network of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) bridging reduced graphene oxide@polyacrylamide (rGO@PAM) particles within a sodium alginate (SA) matrix to address this dual demand. The rGO@PAM particles were synthesized via in situ reduction of graphene oxide (GO) adsorbed on chemically crosslinked PAM particles, ensuring structural stability and enhanced photothermal conversion. CNTs act as bridging units to construct a three-dimensional thermal-electrical network, synergizing with the vertically aligned porous SA matrix formed by freeze-drying and ionic crosslinking. This unique architecture enables efficient solar interface evaporation (1.80 kg·m-2·h-1 under 1.0 sun) with exceptional salt resistance (>15 wt% brine) and long-term stability, while the hierarchical conductive network achieves a remarkable EMI shielding effectiveness of 66.10 dB in the hydrated state through absorption-dominated mechanisms. The work offers a scalable paradigm for multifunctional hydrogels in sustainable water purification and flexible electronics protection.
期刊介绍:
Separation and Purification Technology is a premier journal committed to sharing innovative methods for separation and purification in chemical and environmental engineering, encompassing both homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. Our scope includes the separation and/or purification of liquids, vapors, and gases, as well as carbon capture and separation techniques. However, it's important to note that methods solely intended for analytical purposes are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, disciplines such as soil science, polymer science, and metallurgy fall outside the purview of Separation and Purification Technology. Join us in advancing the field of separation and purification methods for sustainable solutions in chemical and environmental engineering.
