Abstract Solar‐driven evaporators have emerged as a sustainable strategy for water purification and energy harvesting. Designing advanced systems that achieve high evaporation performance, long‐term operational stability, resistance to salt crystallization remains significant challenge. In this study, an innovative Janus membrane is proposed addresses these challenges, featuring super hydrophilic cellulose nanofiber (CNF)@Hexadecyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB)‐MXene layer superhydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layer. CTAB modification of MXene enhances its interlayer spacing specific surface area, enabling rapid transport efficient solar absorption the CNF@CTAB‐MXene A PTFE sputter‐deposited onto layer, effectively preventing accumulation fouling, with plasma pre‐treatment ensuring excellent interfacial bonding between two layers. Under 1 sun illumination, CNF@CTAB‐MXene/PTFE evaporator achieves remarkable rate 1.51 kg m −2 h −1 outstanding resistance. The synergy superhydrophilic layers facilitates while maintaining stability without performance degradation. Additionally, generates voltage 343.8 mV during thermoelectric power generation, unique design allows electricity generation from wind at night. This integrated system provides durable solution water‐power co‐generation, offering practical benefits off‐grid or remote regions.

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 Intermittent sunlight irradiation severely limits the performance of solar evaporators for electricity output and freshwater production. To address this issue, a hierarchical‐structured three‐dimentional (3D) evaporator to simultaneously enhance voltage production by integrating paraffin‐type phase change material (PCM) with circular concave‐shaped 3D supporter covered carbon‐black‐nanoparticles‐modified poly(ethylene terephthalate) fabric (PMCB) is developed. In developed evaporator, 3D‐printed can trap improve energy absorption, PMCB obtained from hydrophilic hydrophobic modification adequately absorb generation water evaporation, resulting in maximum 3.51 V high evaporation rate 4.0 kg m −2 h −1 under natural illumination. Owing introduction PCM, obtains decrease time required charging capacitor 57.9% an increase 29.9% compared counterpart without PCM. Through rationally utilizing photothermal stored PCM innovatively supporter, exhibits great application potential simultaneous supply intermittent irradiation.
