Résumé

Solar vapor generation is a promising, environmentally friendly solution for water purification. The development and design of new materials and supporting devices for efficient energy conversion and clean water production are essential for the practical application of solar-driven desalination and water purification. In this study, an environmentally friendly and economical biomass hydrogel-based solar evaporator with a controllable shape was developed in a simple method by integrating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into a sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel network. The evaporator had a high solar absorption rate (94.3%) and satisfactory hydrophilicity and could effectively avoid salt crystallization during the desalination process. This study took advantage of the aforementioned merits, and a high evaporation rate of 1.699 kg m
