Abstract:

Aimed at the alleviation of the increasingly scarce of fossil energy and the shortage of fresh water resources, and promote development and application of fibrous materials in the utilization of water resources, latest research progress in the interfacial solar steam generation system using fibrous materials was reviewed. This paper started by introducing the main principles, development history and the applications of interfacial solar steam generation system. The photothermal conversion materials and auxiliary materials in the interfacial solar steam generation system were reviewed and analyzed respectively. Based on their functions, the advantages of the fibrous materials such as diversified functions, light weight, low cost and ease of processing were elaborated, demonstrating fibrous materials' excellent performance as the main raw materials for the interfacial solar steam generation system. This paper concluded with an outlook on the challenges in using fibrous materials for the interfacial solar steam generation system and possible solutions to improve the practicality of the system. It is anticipated that this review paper can benefit the widespread applications of fibrous materials in interfacial solar steam systems.

Key words: photothermal conversion, fibrous material, interfacial evaporation, water transportation, thermal management, salt rejection, interfacial solar steam generation system
