Abstract
Interfacial solar steam generation for sustainable and eco-friendly desalination and wastewater treatment has attracted much attention. However, costly raw materials and complex preparation processes pose constant challenges to its wide promotion. Herein, a novel, cost-effective, and scalable strategy is presented for preparing solar interface evaporators using industrial waste as a raw material. Modified polyethylene foam evaporators (M-EPEs) are simply prepared by drilling and then hydrophilic modification of industrial waste (EPE-1). M-EPEs not only retain the strong mechanical properties and thermal insulating properties (0.047 W·m-1·K-1) of EPE-1 but also exhibit superhydrophilicity and strong light absorption (over 90%). M-EPEs achieve a high evaporation rate of 1.497 kg·m-2·h-1 and photothermal efficiency of up to 93.8% under 1 kW·m-2 solar illumination. Moreover, it has excellent stability and salt tolerance. Our work addresses the environmental issues of recycling polyethylene waste and provides a facile and efficient strategy for designing low-cost, large-scale solar interface evaporators for desalination.

Abstract
Sodium tetraborate pentahydrate (STB) was intercalated into graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets to form a nanocomposite (STB@GO). Subsequently, it was self-assembled on a substrate membrane to prepare STB@GO nanofiltration membrane. The properties of the STB@GO powder samples and the nanofiltration membrane were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), contact angle (CA), and zeta potential. When the STB concentration was 1.0 g/L in the cross-linking reaction, the membrane was described as the STB2@GO membrane and exhibited a large interlayer space (d-spacing = 1.347 nm), high hydrophilicity (CA = 22.2°), and high negative potential (zeta = -18.0 mV). Meanwhile, the pure water flux of the membrane was significantly increased by 56.60% than that of the GO membrane. In addition, the STB2@GO membrane exhibited a favorable capability for dye rejection,98.52% for Evans blue (EB), 99.26% for Victoria blue B (VB), 91.94% for Alizarin yellow (AY), and 93.21% for Neutral red (NR). Furthermore, the STB2@GO membrane performed better in dye separation under various types and concentrations of dye, pH values, and ions in solution. Thus, this study provides a promising method for preparing laminated GO nanofiltration membranes for dye wastewater treatment.

Abstract
A new type of composite membrane was prepared through the vacuum filtration self-assembly, in which, graphene oxide (GO) was the basic material, and the horizontal insertion material is product of perylene-3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) and UiO-66-NH2 (PTCDA-UiO-66-NH2). The leading role of Π-Π conjugate, auxiliary effect of hydrogen bonding during membrane preparation have been confirmed through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible spectrophotometer, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The prepared GO@PTCDA-UiO-66-NH2 membrane had new nodular structure compared to GO membrane by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), which promoted the water transport. In addition, the insertion of PTCDA-UiO-66-NH2 narrowed the actual filtration spacing between GO sheets, and PTCDA-UiO-66-NH2 could also adsorbed dye laterally. Experiments showed that the permeance of GO@PTCDA-UiO-66-NH2 membrane was 1.7 times of GO membrane, and the removal of methyl blue, congo red, crystal violet and disperse black 9 was close to 100%. Under extreme pH, high salt concentration and multiple recycling, its separation ability was still excellent. The GO@PTCDA-UiO-66-NH2 membrane constituted a unique synergistic structure of vertical-screening and horizontal-adsorption, which successfully overcame the trade-off effect and obtained excellent stability of structure and performance. Therefore, GO@PTCDA-UiO-66-NH2 membrane had great potential in practical applications.
