Abstract
Interfacial solar evaporation, which utilizes the inexhaustible solar energy to desalinate freshwater, is highly promising to solve freshwater shortage. However, when dealing with polluted water such as radioactive uranium solution, the effective adsorption of uranium is critical to avoid environmental pollution. Herein, we report the facile construction of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8)/carbon nanotube (CNT)/gelatin evaporator via a simple dip coating method for simultaneous seawater desalination and uranium extraction. Benefiting from the incorporated CNT, the evaporator shows good light absorption and photothermal conversion. The evaporator reaches a high evaporation rate of 4.1 kg m- 2 h-1 under 1 Sun irradiation, which surpasses many advanced evaporators. Furthermore, the nitrogen-containing ZIF-8 and gelatin enable the uranium adsorption through water transport and self-heating effect, since the water evaporation enables UO22+ diffusion and the photothermal effect facilitates UO22+ adsorption. Consequently, the equilibrium adsorption of UO22+ is reached within 60 min, with the high UO22+ adsorption capacity of 179.6 mg g-1. This work provides a new opportunity for simultaneous freshwater generation and uranium adsorption, which contributes to achieving carbon neutrality and uranium adsorption.

  • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
  • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
  • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
  • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
  • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
