Abstract
Rational storage and efficient utilization of rainwater resources are effective means to solve the problems of urban waterlogging and clean water shortage. Many new photothermal conversion devices have been developed for seawater desalination, but the photothermal conversion function has rarely been applied to building materials for water purification. In this study, porous cement-based photothermal conversion materials (PCPCM) were prepared by coating a layer of photothermal conversion materials on the surface of porous cement products, and their photothermal conversion efficiency and water evaporation efficiency were investigated. The results show that PCPCM with graphene as photothermal conversion layer has the highest photothermal conversion efficiency and water evaporation rate of 76.08% and 1.162 kg m−2 h−1, respectively, under one sunlight intensity (1.0 KW m−2). This work presents a key step towards efficient, low-cost and sustainable purification of rainwater into clean water with renewable solar energy, providing new ideas for functional sponge city design.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sustainable Cement-Based Materials aims to publish theoretical and applied researches on materials, products and structures that incorporate cement. The journal is a forum for discussion of research on manufacture, hydration and performance of cement-based materials; novel experimental techniques; the latest analytical and modelling methods; the examination and the diagnosis of real cement and concrete structures; and the potential for improved cement-based materials. The journal welcomes original research papers, major reviews, rapid communications and selected conference papers. The Journal of Sustainable Cement-Based Materials covers a wide range of topics within its subject category, including but are not limited to: • raw materials and manufacture of cement • mixing, rheology and hydration • admixtures • structural characteristics and performance of cement-based materials • characterisation techniques and modeling • use of fibre in cement based-materials • degradation and repair of cement-based materials • novel testing techniques and applications • waste management
