Key Points

This research aims to develop an efficient hydrogel evaporator for water purification using an In2S3/N-BC heterojunction.
Developed a novel In2S3/N-BC@PVA hydrogel evaporator for testing.
Assessed interfacial charge separation and its effects on disinfection efficacy.
Measured evaporation rates and water disinfection performance against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Achieved greater than 99% removal of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and over 95% removal of antibiotic-resistant genes (ARG).
Demonstrated a high evaporation rate of 3.93 kg m-2 h-1, indicating effective purification performance.

Abstract

• A novel In 2 S 3 /N-BC@PVA hydrogel evaporator was developed for water purification. • The In 2 S 3 /N-BC heterojunction facilitated interfacial charge redistribution and separation. • Synergistic effect achieves >99% ARB and >95% ARG removal. • The evaporator achieves a high evaporation rate (3.93 kg m -2 h -1 ).
