A Composite Fabric with Dual Functions for High-Performance Water Purification.

ABSTRACT: The dilemma of diminishing freshwater resources caused by water pollution has always impacted human life. Solar-driven interfacial evaporation technology has the potential for freshwater production via solar-driven distillation. However, in solar-driven interfacial evaporation technology, it is difficult to overcome the problem of wastewater containing various contaminants. In this work, we propose a bifunctional fabric created by depositing titanium dioxide@carbon black nanoparticles onto cotton fabric (TiO₂@CB/CF). The TiO₂@CB/CF has a coupling effect that includes the photothermal effect of CB and photocatalysis of TiO₂, and it can not only generate clean water but can also purify contaminated water. The resulting bifunctional fabric can achieve an outst
