Nano‑Confined Solar‑Thermal Water Purification Boosted by Physical Field Disturbance Coupled with Ultrafast Non‑Radical Advanced Oxidation Process

Caption

  • Synergistic nano-confinement and physical field modulation thermodynamically activate water and accelerate solar-driven evaporation, achieving high rates up to 6.84 kg m−2 h−1 under one-sun irradiation.
  • The hollow nanocage architecture with highly accessible Fe–N4 sites enables non-radical peroxymonosulfate activation, delivering ultrafast bisphenol A degradation with a mass-normalized rate constant of 182.5 L g−1 min−1.
  • Concurrent acceleration of solar-driven evaporation of water and on-site remediation of organic pollutants is achieved.
