研究目的
To investigate the application of dual-phase molybdenum nitride nanorambutans as a new photothermal conversion material for efficient solar steam generation.
研究成果
The dual-phase molybdenum nitride nanorambutans demonstrate high crystallinity, thermal stability, and abundant mesopores, making them an efficient photothermal conversion material under one sun. They exhibit a light harvesting capability as high as ~97% over the whole solar spectrum, super-hydrophilic nature, rapid and efficient photothermal conversion capability, and structural compactness. The MoNx film delivers a water evaporation rate of ~1.69 kg m?2 h?1 under one sun, with outstanding cycling stability and reusability. In solar desalination systems, the water evaporation rate is as high as ~1.70 kg m?2 h?1 with high thermal stability and salt rejection performance.
研究不足
The study focuses on the application of molybdenum nitride nanorambutans for solar steam generation under one sun illumination. The limitations include the need for further optimization of the structure of MoNx particles to improve water evaporation rate and the exploration of other potential applications beyond solar steam generation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The dual-phase molybdenum nitride nanorambutans were synthesized by a facile method involving annealing a Mo-based precursor under a 5% ammonia atmosphere. The phase evolution during the synthesis was studied by XRD patterns. The morphology was characterized by SEM and TEM. The optical absorption was investigated with a UV–vis–NIR spectrophotometer. The photothermal conversion capability was evaluated by an infrared camera.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Mo powder was chosen as the starting material. The samples were characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes X-ray diffractometer, high-resolution TEM, SEM, UV–vis–NIR spectrophotometer, N2 adsorption analyzer, XPS spectrometer, infrared camera, and solar simulator. Materials include Mo powder, H2O2, CH3COONH4, and ammonia.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The MoNx nanorambutans were synthesized by annealing a Mo-based precursor under a 5% ammonia atmosphere. The MoNx thin film was fabricated by dispersing MoNx powder in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone solvent, mixing with PVDF binder, and supported via a commercial Nylon66 film.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The solar energy conversion efficiencies were calculated using a classic equation considering the influence of natural water evaporation.
