“…33 These unique features can provide abundant active sites for pollutant adsorption, efficient light harvesting, and sufficient water supply channels, thus facilitating steam escape and clean water production. However, to the best of our knowledge, the majority of aerogels related to melanin were fabricated by the composite way, 26,34,35 and almost no melanin-based aerogels have been documented. Therefore, it is highly anticipated to fully exploit the melanin-based aerogels to realize the functional integration of solar-driven steam generation for multicomponent wastewater remediation.…”
