Abstract

Aluminum nitride is a white, hydrophilic, high-band-gap ceramic. Here we report on the light-induced evaporation of saltwater through a capillary wick composed of drop-cast microparticles. Saltwater evaporation rates are significantly higher than expected. Our results point to significant potential for this interface-driven approach in solar non-thermal desalination and water separation technologies.
