“…Besides, PDA@Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene, Fe/Pd bimetallic nanoparticles and Fe 3 O 4 /polyvinyl alcohol were also modied on delignied wood blocks (cellulose aerogels) to achieve excellent SIE properties. [154][155][156] Chitosan is another biomass-based material for synthesis of aerogels. [157][158][159][160] Chitosan aerogels exhibit good hydrophilicity and a certain degree of swelling in water, facilitating the wicking effect and the storage of water within their macropores.…”

“…Various types of naturally occurring porous substances, such as carbonized wood and mushrooms, [ 13–16 ] and a number of abundant materials, including carbonized cotton, paper and organic foam etc., [ 17–23 ] have been exploited for effective photothermal conversion and evaporation of water. While these materials are eco‐friendly and sustainable, they have limited light harvesting capability and constrained applicability due to salt deposition.…”

Utilizing the broad‐band solar spectrum for sea water desalination is a promising method that can provide fresh water without sophisticated infrastructures. However, the solar‐to‐vapour efficiency has been limited due to the lack of a proper design for the evaporator to deal with either a large amount of heat loss or salt accumulation. Here, these issues are addressed via two cost‐effective approaches: I) a rational design of a concave shaped supporter by 3D‐printing that can promote the light harvesting capacity via multiple reflections on the surface; II) the use of a double layered photoabsorber composed of a hydrophilic bottom layer of a polydopamine (PDA) coated glass fiber (GF/C) and a hydrophobic upper layer of a carbonized poly(vinyl alcohol)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVA/PVP) hydrogel on the supporter, which provides competitive benefit for preventing deposition of salt while quickly pumping the water. The 3D‐printed solar evaporator can efficiently utilize solar energy (99%) with an evaporation rate of 1.60 kg m–2 h–1 and efficiency of 89% under 1 sun irradiation. The underlying reason for the high efficiency obtained is supported by the heat transfer mechanism. The 3D‐printed solar evaporator could provide cheap drinking water in remote areas, while maintaining stable performance for a long term.

“…Because evaporation occurs at the interface of water-photothermal materials, the harvesting performance of solar illumination for a given SIES is essential. In the past few years, photothermal conversion materials dedicated to high broadband (across the solar spectra range from 200 to 2500 nm (UV–vis-IR)) light absorption have been reported and fall into two main categories of materials: carbonaceous materials that convert solar energy to heat through lattice vibrations, such as carbon black, , graphene, graphene derivatives, − carbon nanotubes, and biomass carbon materials, , and plasmonic metal nanoparticles (e.g., gold, − aluminum, palladium, , etc.) through the plasmonic localized heating mechanism exhibiting high light absorption.…”

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation integrating inexhaustible solar energy and abundant seawater to address the scarcity of freshwater is a green and sustainable solution, but its industrial application remains challenging. Herein, a solar-utilizing device with a light-reflection layer was first proposed and fabricated for the improvement of light absorption as an efficient solar-driven interfacial salt-resistance evaporator, which consists of reduced graphene oxide-modified melamine sponge (rGOMS) (light-absorption layer) and aluminum foil (light-reflection layer). The strategy endows the assembled evaporator with high broadband light absorption (6.5% higher than that of the evaporator without a reflective layer), superior thermal insulation (0.0148 W m–1 K–1 in dry state), and continuous water transportation. Furthermore, the melamine sponge-based evaporator with a three-dimensional network structure (porosity of 99%) exhibits stable salt-resistance performance even in 20 wt % brine. As a result, the as-prepared evaporator (rGOMS-Re) has the merits of facile fabrication, durability, high cost-efficiency, and a stable photothermal evaporation efficiency of 87.5% under 1 kW m–2 illumination (12.2% higher than that of the evaporator without a reflective layer) and has promise to be an ideal candidate for scalable practical application. The strategy to improve light absorption opens a new and simple route for obtaining photothermal materials with light loss.
