ABSTRACT
Desalination processes frequently require a lot of energy to generate freshwater and energy, which depletes resources. Their reliance on each other creates tension between these two vital resources. Herein, hierarchical MXene nanosheets and bismuth vanadate (Ti3C2/BiVO4)-derived microcapsules were synthesized for a photothermal-induced photoredox reaction for twofold applications, namely, solar-driven water evaporation and hydrogen (H2) production. For this purpose, flexible aerogels were fabricated by introducing Ti3C2/BiVO4 microcapsules in the polymeric network of natural rubber latex (NRL-Ti3C2/BiVO4), and a high evaporation rate of 2.01 kg m-2 h-1 was achieved under 1-kW m-2 solar intensity. The excellent performance is attributed to the presence of Ti3C2/BiVO4 microcapsules in the polymeric network, which provides balanced hydrophilicity and broadband sun absorption (96 %) and is aimed at plasmonic heating with microscale thermal confinement tailored by heat transfer simulations. Notably, localized plasmonic heating at the catalyst active sites of the Ti3C2/BiVO4 heterostructure promotes enhanced photocatalytic H2 production evolved after 4 h of reaction is 9.39 µmol, which is highly efficient than pure BiVO4 and Ti3C2. This method turns the issue of water-fuel crisis into a collaborative connection, presenting avenues to collectively address the anticipated demand rather than fostering competition.
