Here, a thin, porous, mechanically stable and high LiCl-loading content super-hygroscopic SA-MXene@LiCl membrane (SM@LiCl) was fabricated via vacuum-assisted filtration and freeze-drying methods. The thin and porous characteristics of the cross-linked SA-MXene network significantly reduce moisture transport resistance, while the wrapped hygroscopic LiCl effectively enhances its moisture capture capacity.

When applied to SAWH, this nanocomposite membrane demonstrates an impressive water uptake performance of 1.69 g g⁻¹ within 1 h at 45 % RH and releases over 65 % of absorbed water after only 0.5 h of sunlight irradiation (1 kW/m²).

With its high moisture sorption capacity and rapid […]

According to the density functional theory calculations, the crystal surface with the best catalytic properties is Ni (111). Based on the theoretical calculations, this work proposed controlling the reduction order and reduction efficiency of Ni²⁺ and H₂O in the nickel slag leachate during electrolysis to modulation of crystal surface growth of Ni. Moreover, amorphous Ni(OH)₂ was designed to selectively grow in Ni product to further improve the catalytic performance of Ni (1 1 1).

The electrodes with the best catalytic performance for hydrogen evolution were obtained when the electrodeposition conditions were 30 min, 0.05 M, and […]

The results showed that the brine flow rate was the most significant factor affecting the desalination efficiency of the aqueous and ionic liquid FCDI systems (p < 0.0001). The optimal process conditions for the ionic liquid system fitted by the model were as follows: 6.6 wt% activated carbon content in the electrode slurry, a brine flow rate of 45 mL/min, an initial brine concentration of 1 g/L, and an electrolyte ratio of N, N-Dimethylformamide/1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate = 3.

The desalination effect of FCDI under the above optimal process conditions was up to 99.739 % at a voltage of 3.5 V, and the water-desalting efficiency […]
