Abstract The shortage of freshwater resources has become a major obstacle threatening human development, and directly utilizing solar energy by evaporators is emerging as promising method to produce from the seawater. Compared many synthetic polymer‐based evaporators, cellulose‐based are expected offer more interesting features benefiting renewable feature abundant reserves cellulose‐contained naturally occurring materials. First, according different fabrication methods, can be divided into two types, i.e., top‐down utilization (wood‐based) bottom‐up assembled (cellulose composite‐based), respectively. schemes also bring their own unique advantages, such bimodal porous structure wood‐based artificial interconnection microporous network cellulose composite‐based evaporators. Subsequently, this review further summarizes most recent advances highlights those focusing on structural regulation strategies (e.g., drilled channel array, asymmetric wettability structure, delignification, 2D waterway, etc.) evaporation performance improvements salt resistance, high rate, etc.). Finally, challenges in field potential solutions discussed, which anticipated provide new opportunities toward future development other kinds biomass‐based

Abstract Solar‐powered interfacial heating has emerged as a sustainable technology for hybrid applications with minimal carbon footprints. Aerogels, hydrogels, and sponges/foams are the main building blocks state‐of‐the‐art photothermal materials. However, these conventional three‐dimensional (3D) structures related fabrication technologies intrinsically fail to maximize important performance‐enhancing strategies this still faces several performance roadblocks. Herein, monolithic, self‐standing, durable aerogel matrices developed based on composite inks ink‐extrusion 3D printing, delivering all‐in‐one steam generators (SGs). Rapid prototyping of multiscale hierarchical synergistically reduce energy demand evaporation, expand actual evaporation areas, generate massive environmental input, improve mass flows. Under 1 sun, high water rates 3.74 kg m −2 h −1 in calm air 25.3 at gentle breeze 2 s achieved, ranking among best‐performing solar‐powered SGs. 3D‐printed microchannels hydrophobic modification deliver an icephobic surface aerogels, leading self‐propelled rapid removal ice droplets. This work shines light rational materials, not merely breaking through constraints clean production, but also discovering new functions deicing.
