Abstract:Solar vapor generation has been considered an appealing way to solve freshwater scarcity issues. Although several natural materials have been developed, the exploration of biomass materials with stable evaporation, simple processes, and low energy consumption is still necessary. Herein, sweet potato, a high‐yield natural plant, is explored to prepare a solar evaporator with a cross‐linked porous structure. Carbonized sweet potato exhibits a high evaporation rate of 1.7 kg m−2 h−1 and an excellent solar–thermal… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
