Strategy of bilayer structure of cellulose-based membrane with an efficient anti-fouling for solar-driver seawater desalination

Key Points

• The aim is to develop a cellulose-based membrane with a bilayer structure that minimizes fouling and maximizes efficiency for seawater desalination.
• Development of a bilayer cellulose membrane structure
• Assessment of anti-fouling properties
• Evaluation of solar steam generation efficiency
• The bilayer structure significantly reduces membrane fouling
• Enhanced light absorption increases heat localization
• Achieves higher efficiency in seawater desalination compared to single-layer membranes
