Abstract Solar desalination is a promising strategy to utilize solar energy purify saline water. However, the accumulation of salt on evaporator surface severely reduces light absorption and evaporation performance. Herein, simple eco‐friendly method fabricate 3D gradient graphene spiral sponge (GGS sponge) presented that enables high‐rate zero liquid discharge (ZLD) high‐salinity brine. The structure GGS enhances recovery, while network structures facilitate radial brine transport directional crystallization, which cooperate endow with superior (6.5 kg m −2 h −1 for 20 wt.% brine), efficient collection (1.5 ZLD desalination, long‐term durability (continuous 144 in brine). Moreover, shows an ultrahigh freshwater production rate 3.1 during outdoor tests. A continuous desalination–irrigation system based crop growth, has potential self‐sustainable agriculture remote areas demonstrated. This work introduces novel design also provides insight into structural principles designing next‐generation devices are salt‐tolerant highly efficient.

Interfacial solar evaporation (ISE) has emerged as a promising technology to alleviate global water scarcity via energy-efficient purification of both wastewater and seawater. While ISE was originally identified developed during studies simple double-layered two-dimensional (2D) evaporators, observed limitations in rate functionality soon led the development three-dimensional (3D) which is now recognized one most pivotal milestones research field. 3D evaporators significantly enhance rates beyond theoretical limits 2D evaporators. Furthermore, could have multifaceted functionalities originating from various functional surfaces structures. This review summarizes recent advances focusing on rational design, fabrication energy nexus derivative functions for improving performance exploring novel applications.

Abstract Interfacial solar evaporation offers a green and sustainable solution to solve clean water shortages via solar‐driven desalination. However, salt crystallization accumulation on evaporators have become the primary hindrances long‐term practical application of interfacial technology. To tackle this challenge, photothermal evaporator with novel parallel two‐water paths strategy is developed in study. Unlike conventional one‐way path, which generally leads at supply end surfaces, thereby limiting lifespan compromising performance, here, second ion diffusion distribution within reconfigured optimized. No occurs either surfaces or paths, eliminating impact performance enabling convenient collection. A high stable rate 3.09–3.26 kg m −2 h −1 recorded over 84 continuous NaCl (3.5 wt.%) without evaporator, making it an ideal for zero liquid discharge evaporation.

Abstract Interfacial solar evaporation, which captures energy and localizes the absorbed heat for water is considered a promising technology seawater desalination conversion. However, it currently limited by its low photothermal conversion efficiency, salt accumulation, poor reliability. Herein, inspired human intestinal villi structure, we design fabricate novel villi‐like nitrogen‐doped carbon nanotubes steam generator (N‐CNTs SSG) consisting of three‐dimensional (3D) hierarchical nanotube matrices ultrahigh evaporation efficiency. The 3D with radial direction clusters achieve surface area, hydrophilicity, significantly intensifies whole interfacial process. new efficiency reaches as high 96.8%. Furthermore, our ab initio molecular dynamics simulation reveals that N‐doped exhibit greater number electronic states in close proximity to Fermi level when compared pristine nanotubes. outstanding absorptivity full spectrum altitude angles offer great potential enable under all‐day all‐season circumstances.
