Abstract

We have presented a new strategy for enhancing solar evaporation by using floating magnetic materials. Magnetite nanoparticles have been synthesized by electrochemical method followed by compositing the materials with lignin particles to hydrophobized the surface. The hydrophobic magnetite-lignin composites could float on the water surface and were used as photothermal materials for enhancing water evaporation based on an interfacial solar heating. The mass of water evaporated was significantly raised to 4.5 L m-2 for 150 minutes by the addition of magnetite-lignin composites on the surface and the number of waters evaporated using that composite was about 7 times larger than without any materials. In addition, magnetite-lignin composites also had advantages over other photothermal materials which were their easy and low-cost synthesis method and non-toxicity.
