Abstract

The situation of global water crisis is becoming more and more serious[1]. Due to the inconvenience of fresh water carrying or long-term storage and deterioration, the personnel and equipment of oceangoing ships are in urgent need of fresh water resources[2]. However, the traditional seawater desalination technology will consume fossil energy or its economy is not high. Under the background of a series of green ship development plans, people focus on green clean energy to solve the problem of fresh water shortage[3]. Interfacial photoevaporation is an effective strategy to promote seawater desalination and pollutant treatment. Photothermal conversion materials and evaporators have shown their good performance in improving seawater desalination efficiency. In this paper, the photohot water gel prepared by calcium chloride, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium citrate, tannic acid and ferric chloride was used as the photothermal conversion material[4]. The properties of photoevaporative seawater desalination materials were studied by a series of instruments such as optical microscope and contact Angle measuring instrument. The experimental results show that the flower-like hydrogel has high photothermal conversion efficiency and has a good application prospect in green Marine desalination field.
