“…These factors cause surface fouling or compositional rapture after few operation cycles that lead toward lower solar-to-vapor conversion efficiency. [22,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44] In a long-term stability experiment, the consistent operation was conducted for a long period to investigate the mechanical stability of the IPNF solar evaporator. IPNF solar evaporator generates continuous steam under stimulated seawater conditions (3.5 wt%) for successive 8 h and achieves excellent mass change (13.27 kg m À2 ).…”

Solar‐driven interfacial steam generation has emerged as an innovative technique for seawater desalination due to its high photothermal conversion efficiency and potential industrial applications. Herein, a superior interfacial heat accumulation structure composed of semiconductive in situ polymerization (polypyrrole) of nickel foam (IPNF) is reported. The IPNF photothermal layer is assembled with superhydrophilic polyurethane substrate for synchronous water transport and excellent thermal insulation. The 2D ultrablack mesh induces multiple incident rays within the diffused polymerized surface, which allows omnidirectional solar absorption (88.5 %) and intensifying heat localization (49.5 °C @ 1 sun). The state‐of‐the‐art evaporation performances reveal that the integrated IPNF solar evaporator exhibits an excellent evaporation rate (1.74 kg m−2 h−1) and solar‐to‐vapor conversion efficiency (90% excluding heat losses) under 1 kW m−2 solar intensity. Besides this, the long‐term evaporation experiments show negligible discrepancy under seawater conditions (13.27 kg m−2/8 h under 1 kW m−2) and engrain its functioning potential for multimedia and salt rejection (3.2 g × NaCl/240 min). More importantly, herein, insights into different water states in the polymeric network systems during solar‐driven evaporation are provided. This work shows a significant potential to generate freshwater excluding heavy metals and other oil emulsions for industrial applications.

Solar evaporation is a facile and promising technology to efficiently utilize renewable energy for freshwater production and seawater desalination. Here, the fabrication of self‐regenerating hydrogel composed of 2D‐MXenes nanosheets embedded in perovskite La 0.6Sr 0.4Co 0.2Fe 0.8O3−δ (LSCF)/polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels for efficient solar‐driven evaporation and seawater desalination is reported. The mixed dimensional LSCF/Ti3C2 composite features a localized surface plasmonic resonance effect in the polymeric network of polyvinyl alcohol endows excellent evaporation rates (1.98 kg m−2 h−1) under 1 k Wm−2 or one sun solar irradiation ascribed by hydrophilicity and broadband solar absorption (96%). Furthermore, the long‐term performance reveals smooth mass change (13.33 kg m−2) during 8 h under one sun. The composite hydrogel prompts the dilution of concentrated brines and redissolves it back to water (1.2 g NaCl/270 min) without impeding the evaporation rate without any salt‐accumulation. The present research offers a substantial opportunity for solar‐driven evaporation without any salt accumulation in real‐life applications.

The field of 2D materials has advanced significantly with the emergence of MBenes, a new material derived from the MAX phases family, a novel class of materials that originates from the MAX phases family. Herein, this article explores the unique characteristics and morphological variations of MBenes, offering a comprehensive overview of their structural evolution. First, the discussion explores the evolutionary period of 2D MBenes associated with the several techniques for synthesizing, modifying, and characterizing MBenes to tailor their structure and enhance their functionality. The focus then shifts to the defect chemistry of MBenes, electronic, catalytic, and photothermal properties which play a crucial role in designing multifunctional solar‐driven hybrid systems. Second, the recent advancements and potentials of 2D MBenes in solar‐driven hybrid systems e.g. photo‐electro catalysis, hybrid solar evaporators for freshwater and thermoelectric generators, and phototherapy, emphasizing their crucial significance in tackling energy and environmental issues, are explored. The study further explores the fundamental principles that regulate the improved photocatalytic and photothermal characteristics of MBenes, highlighting their promise for effective utilization of solar energy and remediation of the environment. The study also thoroughly assesses MBenes' scalability, stability, and cost effectiveness in solar‐driven systems. Current insights and future directions allow researchers to utilize MBenes for sustainable and varied applications. This review regarding MBenes will be valuable to early researchers intrigued with synthesizing and utilizing 2D materials for solar‐powered water‐energy‐fuel and phototherapy systems.
