“…4,5 The photothermal conversion material, which is located at the air−water interface, plays a crucial role in influencing desalination. 6−8 Currently, photothermal conversion materials mainly include plasmonic metal materials, 9 carbon-based materials (including graphene, 10 carbon nanotubes, 11 carbonized biomass materials 12 ), conductive polymers, 13 and narrow-bandgap semiconductors. 14 Among them, plasmonic noble metals (Au, 15,16 Ag 17 ) are the most extensively researched because the strong plasmonic responses coincide with the solar spectrum.…”

Ingenious microstructure construction and appropriate composition selection are effective strategies for achieving enhanced performance of photothermal materials. Herein, a broccoli-like hierarchical nickel black@graphene (Ni@Gr) membrane for solar-driven desalination was prepared by a one-step electrochemical method, which was carried out simultaneously with the electrochemical exfoliation of graphene and the co-deposition of Ni@Gr material. The bionic hierarchical structure and the chemical composition of the Ni@Gr membrane increased the sunlight absorption (90.36%) by the light-trapping effect and the introduction of graphene. The Ni@Gr membrane achieved high evaporation rates of 2.05 and 1.16 kg m −2 h −1 under simulated (1 sun) and outdoor sunlight conditions, respectively. The superhydrophilicity and the hierarchical structure of the Ni@ Gr membrane jointly reduced the evaporation enthalpy (1343.6 kJ/kg), which was beneficial to break the theoretical limit of the evaporation rate (1.47 kg m −2 h −1 ). This work encourages the application of bionic metal−carbon composite photothermal materials in solar water evaporation.

Talc is widely used in the automotive industry as a primary reinforcement in part manufacturing. However, its relatively high density, low impact strength, and difficulty in recycling pose challenges. The present study investigates the utilization of graphene grown on talc derived from waste polypropylene (PP) and graphene nanoplatelet obtained from waste tires by recycling and upcycling processes to be used as reinforcing agents in thermoplastic processing by keeping mechanical integrity and part performance properties the same compared to the part used in serial production. The whole value chain was examined by developing compound formulation, scaling up with a high shear mixer, and injection molding of the selected exterior part of the glass front grill with its part performance tests with the real‐case thermal and structural finite element analysis. Regarding the mechanical performance analysis, the developed compound formulation having 9 wt% micron scale talc with graphene nanoparticles and hybrid additive yielded substantial enhancements of 32% and 22% in flexural and tensile strength, respectively, in the homopolymer polypropylene (HomoPP) matrix by achieving 10% weight reduction. With a systematic life cycle assessment study, CO2 reduction was provided by 55% for the selected part by replacing virgin HomoPP with mechanically recycled waste PP originally unknown.
