Figure 2. (A) Illustration of the process for fabricating flexible MnO/C-x membrane for solar evaporation and thermoelectric power production. (B) SEM micrographs of (B-1 and B-2) Mn-MOF, (B-3) MnO/C-400, (B-4) MnO/C-500, (B-5) MnO/C-600, and (B-6) MnO/C-700. (B-7 and B-8) HRTEM micrographs of MnO/C-600. (C) IR images of cotton fabric and MnO/C-600 membrane exposed to 1 Sun radiation. (D) Rates and cumulative quantities of water production. (E) Evaporation rate of MnO/C-600 employing varying water sources. (F) Images show the salt ablation effect after adding NaCl to the MnO/C-600 evaporator's top surface.
