Abstract:

In order to prepare interfacial evaporator with portability, reusability and scalable manufacturability, reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/viscose multi-layer composite was fabricated, where the RGO/viscose fabric acts as solar absorber, cotton yarn and cotton fabric are used as water supply channel, and polypropylene fabric functions as thermal heat material. The structure, hydrophilic properties and optical properties of the RGO/viscose fabric were analyzed, and the evaporation properties, cyclic stability and application performance of the RGO/viscose multi-layer composite were studied. The results show that RGO is cross-linked with viscose fibers. The water droplets completely permeate into the RGO/viscose fabric in 2.02 s. The absorbance of RGO/viscose fabric is about 90% in the ultraviolet-visible near infrared region. When the thickness of insulation layer is 1.35 cm, the evaporation rate of the RGO/viscose multi-layer composite is the highest under 1.0 kW/m2 solar irradiation, which is 3.6 times as high as that of pure water. Furthermore, the RGO/viscose multi-layer composite has good cyclic stability as the evaporation rate remains constant after recycling 10 times, showing excellent potential application prospect for dye wastewater treatment.

Key words: reduced graphene oxide, viscose, photothermal conversion, interfacial evaporation, dye wastewater treatment
