Abstract Solar interfacial evaporation is a promising technology for producing clean freshwater from brine or wastewater with minimal carbon footprint. However, its application limited by poor salt and oil resistance chemical durability. In this work, superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic solar evaporator (SS‐SIE) comprising superhydrophobic top coated nanotubes designed absorbing light, superhydrophilic bottom pumping water, resisting insoluble organic matter. Owing to unique structure, deposition confined the part, thereby ensuring long‐term stability of SS‐SIE sustained (>100 h) in saturated brine, which record‐breaking salt‐resistant evaporators. Moreover, durability are demonstrated. With these excellent properties, enables stable industrial high‐salinity characterized strong alkalinity, high salinity, content under 1 sun irradiation over 7 days. Notably, purified water can be directly used cultivating plants without causing any toxic effects on their growth. Therefore, provides an alternative, environmentally friendly, efficient pathway purifying broadening range applications.

Abstract A method for creating superhydrophobic surfaces is presented by aerosolizing polymer solutions into micrometer‐sized droplets and converting them microgel particles during spatially controlled deposition using an aerosol jet printer. The are composed of marginally hydrophobic disulfide‐polydimethylsiloxane (DS‐PDMS) in three solvents with varying vapor pressures. experiments, combined analytical model, demonstrate that high pressures evaporate from the flight printer nozzle to substrate. This evaporation increases DS‐PDMS volume fraction above gelation threshold. As a result, transform particles. transformation leads formation rough, surfaces. Conversely, lower do not sufficiently, preventing reaching These coalesce upon deposition, producing smooth hydrophobicity similar intrinsic DS‐PDMS. Heating 90 °C or eliminates superhydrophobicity de‐gelling DS‐PDMS, allowing droplet coalescence. Potential applications this include manipulation, microreactors reactant mixing, water‐oil separation, retardation evaporation.
