Abstract:

Under the guidance of carbon peak and neutrality targets, it is one of the necessary ways to promote the reformation of the education and teaching system that will accelerate the cultivation of highly skilled talents in the energy field. Solar desalination has the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection and high effluent purity. Aiming at the scientific frontier of solar driven interface water evaporation, a research-oriented comprehensive experiment is designed in this article. This experiment covers the photothermal conversion mechanism of light absorbing materials, the synthesis of melamine foam, the synthesis of Ni MOFs materials, the synthesis of nickel- carbon microspheres from Ni MOFs precursors, and the characterization and performance of materials. Transforming research achievements with application prospects into a comprehensive experiment can cultivate students' scientific research thinking and comprehensive analysis ability, and deepen their understanding of the integration of production, teaching and research.

Key words: Solar energy absorption, Light-to-heat conversion, Interface water desalination, Nickel-carbon microspheres
