Solar-driven interfacial evaporation (SDIE) has played a pivotal role in optimizing water-energy utilization, reducing conventional power costs, and mitigating environmental impacts. The increasing emphasis on the synergistic cogeneration of water green electricity through SDIE is particularly noteworthy. However, there gap existing reviews that have focused mechanistic understanding from water-electricity (WEC) systems, structure-activity relationship between efficiency energy utilization WEC material design SDIE. Particularly, it lacks comprehensive discussion to address challenges faced these areas along with potential solutions. Therefore, this review aims comprehensively assess progress future perspective systems by investigating expansion First, provides overview about rational design, thermal management, transportation tunnels Then, summarizes diverse sources utilized process, including steaming generation, photovoltaics, salinity gradient effect, temperature piezoelectric effect. Subsequently, explores factors affect generated WEC. Finally, proposes possible solution development

Abstract Hydrogel‐based solar evaporators (HSEs) emerged as energy‐efficient designs for water purification due to the reduced vaporization enthalpy in hydrated polymeric network. However, it remains challenging HSEs achieve stable performance desalination, partly tradeoff between desired evaporation dynamics and salt tolerance. Here, composite hydrogels with tunable self‐assembled nanofiber networks are exploited engineering of both high resistance accumulation. The nanofibrous hydrogel (NHSEs) present an intrinsic open network porosity, above 90%, enabling continuous channels efficient mass transfer. Theoretical modeling captures complex nexus microstructures by coupling transfer, thermal conduction, during evaporation. mechanistic understanding tuning composites lead optimum configuration NHSEs, which demonstrate a rate 2.85 kg m −2 h −1 desalination 20% brine. outstanding NHSEs underlying design principles may facilitate further development practical systems.
