The global shortage of fresh-water resources is becoming increasingly serious, while the photothermal evaporation has a broad application in the desalination of seawater. However, the physical modeling for photothermal evaporation is not perfect enough to support further improvement of the evaporation performance of photothermal materials. In this study, a photothermal evaporation model using Ti 3 C 2 -wood as a photothermal material is established. The impact of various external environmental factors, including light intensity, initial ambient temperature and air humidity, on the evaporation ...
