Emerging Materials for Interfacial Solar‐Driven Water Purification

Solar-driven water purification is considered as an effective and sustainable technology for treatment using green solar energy. One major goal practical applications to improve the evaporation performance by design of novel photothermal materials, with optimized heat localization transport pathways achieve reduced energy consumption vaporization. Recently, some emerging materials like polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic (COFs) also single molecules were employed construct systems. In this minireview, we present overview recent efforts on development The state-of-the-art these solar-driven treatment, including desalination, wastewater purification, sterilization production, are summarized.
