Published: April 1, 2025

Abstract Interfacial solar steam generation (ISSG) is an emerging technology for sustainable water production, harnessing energy to desalinate seawater and treat wastewater. However, the development of efficient, cost‐effective photothermal materials these systems remains a challenge. This study investigates use FeNi nanoparticles (NPs) coated on bio‐inspired substrates—wood sponge (WS) pine cone (PC)—for ISSG. These substrates, enhanced their high porosity hydrophilicity, facilitate transport via capillary action, whereas NPs improve light absorption conversion. Results show that both PC/FeNi WS/FeNi demonstrate evaporation efficiencies, with outperforming in terms flux stability across multiple cycles. The PC‐based device achieved 1.73 kg m 2 h⁻¹ efficiency 97.59% under 1 sun illumination, showing promise large‐scale desalination. Furthermore, photoabsorbers effectively reduced ion concentrations seawater, meeting WHO drinking standards. highlights potential bio‐inspired, 3D structured substrates like PC efficient ISSG applications.
