The development of efficient photothermal materials for solar steam generation (SSG) garners significant interest as a solution to the global clean water scarcity crisis. Photothermal properties organic molecules can be fine‐tuned by molecular design. Despite this fact, use small‐molecular in SSG applications is seldom explored due their limited optical absorption range energy harvesting. In research, 6,6,12,12‐tetrakis(4‐octylphenyl)dithieno[2,3‐ d :2′,3′‐ ′]‐ s ‐indaceno[1,2‐ b :5,6‐ ′]dithiophene (DTIDT) focused upon potent conjugated core unit, and [2 + 2] cycloaddition–retroelectrocyclization (CA‐RE) reaction applied introduce additional intramolecular charge‐transfer chromophores. DTIDT derivatives exhibit broad absorption, weak photoluminescence, high nonradiative decay rates, which are useful conversion. addition, placed on top surface filter paper, devices fabricated Janus membrane enhance solar‐to‐vapor efficiency. produced CA‐RE maximum efficiency 78.3% under simulated sunlight irradiation 30 min. result suggests that an effective method synthesizing tailored applications.
