Abstract This study identifies important factors for designing an effective biomimetic paper‐based fog harvesting substrate by examining the properties of different surfaces, including glass, polyethylene, and superhydrophobic paper. In laboratory‐scale fogging tests, wetting behavior substrates is characterized, importance tilt angle respective surface relative to flow elaborated. Because successful requires both efficient accumulation water droplets on (by condensation collision) sufficient but not excessive roll‐off liquid, amount finally collected clearly related pinning effect, which should prevent smallest from being carried away wind must lead full permanent surface. Coalescence identified as a major phenomenon improve droplet roll‐off. this context, paper indicates be more collector than glass or especially when oriented vertically, since it allows roll off very efficiently. Finally, addition particles coating proposed means enhancing improving efficiency.

Interfacial solar-driven evaporation of saline water is a promising technique that enables worldwide upscaling freshwater with minimum carbon footprint. For this purpose, wood demonstrating desirable substrate due to its high porosity and low thermal conductivity. Despite much effort has been dedicated improving the performance evaporators, their scalability reliability still restrict applications. Here we present large-scale highly-efficient wood-based evaporator corrugated sheet structures using facile mechanical processing strategy utilizes excellent processability wood. The structure longitudinal block, transports in direction thereby increases area. With inclusion Chinese ink layer hydrophobic treatment, prepared evaporators exhibit rate (1.77 kg m−2 h−1 for spruce wood, 1.42 beech wood) efficiency (111.53% 88.73% at 1 sun irradiation continuous desalination, which superior both reported most transverse evaporators. This work demonstrates universal economy preparing large-sized solar processability, stable efficiency.

Harvesting electricity from natural water evaporation has recently become a popular research direction owing to its spontaneity, ubiquitousness, and sustainability. In this study, we demonstrate bioinspired composite Janus membrane based on functionalized graphene oxide (FGO)/deacetylated cellulose acetate (dCA) nanofiber. FGO high surface charge low oxygen carbon atom ratio (OAC/CAC), which helps attract ions facilitate the transfer of carriers. The hydrophilic dCA not only provides driving force for ion transport in but also accelerates membrane, thereby increasing electrical output. As result, small piece can provide ∼316 mV ∼997 nA voltage current, respectively. electric energy output could be easily achieved through series parallel expansion utilized supply power electronics or capacitor charge. Once generator reached end life cycle, effortlessly biodegraded within week without posing threat environment. This work establishes new paradigm developing high-performance biodegradable generators powered by evaporation.
