In this work, a dual functional, omniphobic−photothermal nanocomposite membrane was developed to achieve wetting resistance and low energy consumption in desalination by direct solar membrane distillation (DSMD). The membrane was prepared by forming a hierarchical structure of 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane (FAS17) modified carbon black (CB) nanoparticles (NPs) on a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane surface. The fluorinated CB NPs absorbed sun light to provide localized heating for DSMD, which increased membrane flux by 25% upon simulated solar irradiation at one sun unit. The utilization efficiency of solar energy in the DSMD process, 75.4%, is more than one order of magnitude higher than the energy efficiency of the conventional direct contact membrane distillation process. Furthermore, the re-entrant structure formed by the CB NPs together with the hydrophobic FAS17 coating led to low surface energy and hence omniphobicity, increasing the contact angle of the 80 vol% ethanol-in-water from 0 to 94.2°. As a result, the dual functional membrane exhibited much higher resistance to wetting by surfactants. Whereas the pristine PVDF membrane was wetted by 0.2 mM SDS, SDS had no effect on the dual function membrane over the whole SDS concentration range tested (0.1–0.4 mM). The photothermal activity, improved thermal efficiency, and strong wetting resistance make the dual functional omniphobic−photothermal membrane an excellent membrane material for the DSMD process. © 2020 |
