Abstract Direct solar desalination exhibits considerable potential for alleviating the global freshwater crisis. However, prevention of salt accumulation while maintaining high water production remains an important challenge that limits its practical applications because methods currently employed achieving rapid backflow usually result in heat loss. Herein, we fabricate a evaporator featuring vertically aligned mass transfer bridges transport and backflow. The 3D open architecture constructed using enables to efficiently utilize conductive would otherwise be lost, significantly improving evaporation efficiency without compromising on rejection. fabricated can treat with more than 10% salinity. Moreover, it continuously steadily work real environment under natural sunlight solar-to-water collection >40%. Using discharged from reverse osmosis plants sea Red Sea, demonstrates daily generation rate ~5 L/m 2 , which is sufficient satisfy individual drinking requirements. With strong rejection, energy efficiency, simple scalability, has promise supply water-stressed off-grid communities.

With the pressing global energy and environmental issues, solar water evaporation (SWE), which generates vapor using energy, emerges as a promising sustainable approach, because of its diverse applications. Developing thermal- water-management strategies through material structural designs with novel functionalities has been demonstrated for improved performance SWE-based systems. This Review summarizes recent progress SWE potential applications, ranging from purification, to electricity generation, steam sterilization, evaporative cooling. Specifically, rational design principles evaporators are described aspect management high rates. The system water- energy-related also discussed. Finally, we emphasize key challenges opportunities both in fundamental research practical applications future development this technology.

Abstract Solar‐driven interfacial evaporation has emerged as an innovative and sustainable technology for efficient, clean water production. Real‐world applications depend on new classes of low‐cost, lightweight, robust materials that can be integrated into one monolithic device, which withstands a variety realistic conditions open water. Self‐repairing building blocks are highly desired to prevent permanent failures, recover original functions maintain the lifetime steam generators, although related studies scarce date. For first time, monolithic, durable, self‐floating generator with well‐defined structures is demonstrated by integrating self‐healing hydrogels through facile processes in surface modulation device fabrication. High stable rates over 2.0 kg m −2 h −1 attained under 1 sun both fresh brine broad range salinity (36–210 g ). The solar desalination performance among best‐performing generators surpass majority devices constructed composite polymers structural components. This study provides perspective highlights future opportunities damage‐tolerant simultaneously improve performance, durability, real‐world applications.

Abstract Solar steam generation has become one of the most promising strategies to relieve freshwater crisis. Whereas, construction a solar‐thermal water evaporation structure that can operate continuously under sunlight generate clean with high efficiency, good stability, and salt‐rejecting capability is quite crucial but challengeable.
