Abstract Interfacial solar steam generation can produce clean water in an environmentally friendly and efficient way. The evaporator employing graphene as a photothermal conversion material represents excellent paradigm within the realm of interfacial evaporators. However, existing materials exhibit certain degree hydrophobicity are associated with intricate manufacturing processes. Hence, study proposes hydrophilic composite graphene‐based incorporating CuO, which is fabricated through straightforward laser‐induced synthesis method directly onto polyimide film coated CuCl 2 . Due to fast capillary performance endowed by enhanced hydrophilicity hierarchical structural morphology, assembled laser‐induced‐graphene achieves evaporation rate 2.54 kg m −2 h −1 under 1 sun irradiation efficiency 91.1%, while also demonstrating desalination capabilities. as‐prepared has significant potential for wastewater treatment applications, offering effective solution address challenges remote areas.

Abstract Interfacial solar‐vapor generation (ISVG) is an emerging technology for water purification. However, high cost, low evaporation rate, clogging issues, and limited solar utilization under natural condictions greatly hinder its practical application. Herein, inspired by the aligned microstructure of dragonfly wings, a 3D microarray structure composed vertically hierarchical hydrophilic carbon fibers (CFs) constructed using scalable fiber manufacturing technology. The high‐thermal‐conductivity CFs with nanocapillaries contributes to fast mass (steam salt ions) heat transfer as well omnidirectional light absorption. More importantly, due strong multiscale capillary effect, formed surface containing abundant micro‐meniscuses nanoscale thin layers in arrays effectively reduces enthalpy creates more water/air interfaces, leading significant increasing rate. As result, rate 2.21 kg m −2 h −1 one‐sun irradiation can be achieved. Moreover, off‐grid treatment device assembled multiple CFs‐based customized spherical evaporators obtain pure collection 10.71 per day without accumulation real environmental conditions. This work demonstrates high‐efficiency, cost‐effective, strategy high‐performance ISVG.
