One of the currently resolutions to this shortage is desalination. So far, most research on desalination has focused on preparing photothermal materials which possess the property of light-to-heat conversion. However, changing the intrinsic properties of water to improve the efficiency of solar evaporation has rarely been discussed. A new concept to increase the efficiency of desalination via destroying hydrogen bonds based on gold nanoparticles-adsorbed ceramic rods (AuNPs@CRs) is proposed here for the first time. Weakening the strength of interactions within water molecules by illumination with resonant light produces easily evaporable plasmon-activated water (PAW). This proposed system exhibits high efficiencies of steam generation in different experimental environments. Meanwhile, it was 140.0% and 107.5% more efficient than untreated water in an oven and an indoor environment, respectively. The source of resonant light from sunlight on a sunny or cloudy day can also achieve this performance. In addition, the results of water pump suction and direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) further demonstrated that the illuminated AuNPs@CR system exhibits high potential for desalination. © 2018 Elsevier B.V. |
