A Novel Functionalized MoS₂-Based Coating for Efficient Solar Desalination.

ABSTRACT: Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) has emerged as a promising photothermal material for solar desalination. However, its limitation in integrating with organic substances constrains its application because of the lack of functional groups on its surface. Here, this work presents a functionalization approach to introduce three different functional groups (-COOH -OH -NH₂) on the surface of MoS₂ by combining them with S vacancies. Subsequently, the functionalized MoS₂ was coated on the polyvinyl alcohol-modified polyurethane sponge to fabricate a MoS₂-based double-layer evaporator through an organic bonding reaction. Photothermal desalination experiments show that the functionalized material has higher photothermal efficiency. The evaporation ra
